Gin

Juniper berries give gin its distinct flavor. They are also believed in folklore to create attraction and draw love, which is why they are a common ingredient in love spells and charms. They are also believed to bring good people and friendships into your life. This makes gin the ultimate drink for either Valentine’s Day, or Galentine’s Day (celebrating female friendships on the 13th of February). 

As NYC’s premiere Gin Bar, The Winslow offers over 40 different kinds of gin. Their specialty gins are available neat, and or with a specialty tonic or in one of their many crafted cocktails.
