1. Combine all the marinade ingredients except the gin. Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 min, remove from the heat, add in gin and cold. Place roast inmarinade to cover. Let stand refrigerated for 48 hrs or possibly more.
2. Remove from the marinade; place on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan and drape with bacon. Roast uncovered in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 15min per lb.. Remove the bacon for the last 30 min of cooking and basteroast with the strained marinade and pan drippings.
3. Remove the roast and let sit 5-10 minutes before carving. With a little butter and flour make a gravy from the pan drippings and balance of the marinade.
