Old Tom Gin is a gin recipe popular in 18th century England. At that time, the drink was sweetened with sugar to hide its poor quality and make it easier to consume. The name Old Tom Gin is said to have come from an old cat named Tom. Pubs started using the picture of the cat as a so-called secret language to inform customers about the gin on sale. Namely, the English government at the time limited the spreading "gin craze" with various taxes and licenses. To escape from them, pub owners took the business "under the floor". “No Mistake” is one of Charles Dickens' nicknames for this drink.
