CARUSO !!!

Caruso, a Gin cocktail I am making today for all of you is my contribution to Meeta's (of WFLH!) 'Mixology Monday' 'Exotic drinks' party!! Thanks for the invitation, Meeta!!:))

One of my books called 'COCKTAILS' says this:

"Gin was originally produced in Holland in the 16th century from a distillation of juniper berries, and used as a medicine.In the 18th century it acquired a reputation as a rather vulgar drink, but today it is once more considered respectable!!"
Hmmm....??!!
