Cubeb
Cubeb, a peppery dried berry, is used in some gins. The only source checked for D1 is a brand's description of its own recipe.
Role
Occasional botanical (documented here only from one brand's own recipe claim).
In gin
Bombay Sapphire, a gin made by vapour infusion, names "Moroccan cubeb berries" among its botanicals on its own website. This is a brand claim about one product; the atlas has not yet found an independent source on how widely cubeb is used in gin.
