If you’re thinking about making a batch of Christmas gin, now would be an excellent time to raid your neighbors’ juniper bushes. See those blueish-grayish berries? That’s what you’re looking for. Shake a branch and the ripe ones will fall right off. 

For some reason, government landscapers seem to love this shrub. If you’re having trouble finding a good one, try the nearest public school (after hours, lest your motives for lurking in the bushes be mistaken) or courthouse (same).
