Drinking the Juniper Product Line

A loooooong time ago, a Juniper SE told me that, once upon a time, all the Juniper product lines were named after gin-based cocktails (gin being liquor made from juniper berries) and that part of the interview process in the early days was "drinking the product line."

The M-series was named after the martini, the G-series named after the gimlet, the T-series a gin and tonic, etc. This is also where Olive comes from (olives being a typical garnish in a martini).

I've kept this story in the back of my mind for years and never really thought to question it, but it came up in conversation and one of my colleagues called bullshit on me and Google isn't helping me to validate.

Anyone care to confirm/deny?
