ginebra

Ginebra is the Spanish name for the Swiss city of Geneva, a major urban center in western Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Geneva. It lies at the western end of Lake Geneva where the Rhône river exits the lake. Geneva is a global hub for diplomacy, international organizations, finance, and culture; it hosts institutions such as the United Nations Office at Geneva, the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, and the International Committee of the Red Cross. The city is known for its historic old town, riverside promenades, and its role in watchmaking and international diplomacy.

Ginebra is also the term for gin in Spanish and several other languages. Gin is a distilled spirit whose primary flavor comes from juniper berries, with various botanicals added. Its modern form originated in England from earlier genever recipes, and it is commonly consumed neat, on the rocks, or as the base for cocktails such as the gin and tonic or martini.

In the Philippines, Ginebra commonly refers to Ginebra San Miguel, a gin produced by Ginebra San Miguel, Inc. (GSMI), a leading distilled-spirits company that is part of the San Miguel Corporation. The brand has a long history in the country and remains widely available in local markets.
