  1. bathtub gin

    Bathtub gin is a type of homemade spirit that was popular during the Prohibition era in the United States. The term "bathtub gin" arose from the fact that people often produced the gin at home in large quantities using bathtubs, as they were one of the few containers large enough to hold all the ingredients. The alcohol was typically made by mixing cheap grain alcohol with juniper berries and other botanicals to mimic the flavor of gin. However, due to lack of proper distillation methods, this homemade gin was often poor quality, unsafe to drink, and known to cause various health problems.

  1. Bathtub gin

    Bathtub gin refers to any style of homemade spirit made in amateur conditions. The term first appeared in 1920, in the prohibition-era United States, in reference to the poor-quality alcohol that was being made. As gin was the predominant drink in the 1920s, many variations were created by mixing cheap grain alcohol with water and flavorings and other agents, such as juniper berry juice and glycerin. Because the preferred sort of bottle was too tall to be topped off with water from a sink, they were filled from a bathtub tap, as well as sometimes distilled from and fermented in a bathtub. Hence the name, 'bathtub gin'. Many gin cocktails owe their existence to bathtub gin, as they were also created in order to mask the awful taste. Bathtub Gin is also the name for a gin brand produced by Master of Malt, in the U.K. Whilst not being made in a bathtub it is produced using compounding/infusing rather than using botanical distillation.
