Answer:
Alcohol evaporates quickly. You can separate the alcohol using the distillation process. Other ingredients in the alcohol sink while water and alcohol evaporate. Water and alcohol differ in boiling point so by boiling the gin solution at a low temperature you can obtain the alcohol. Distill it multiple times if you want a pure alcohol solution.
