Pedant time: Pluto is not a planet and Gin is flavoured with juniper berries (amongst other things) rather than made from them
Not arguing: Pluto isn’t a planet, but still called a dwarf planet. It can’t be called a Gin unless it has juniper berries in it.
It's a dwarf planet as in the question. I thought more would be having a dig at question 13. https://science.nasa.gov/dwarf-planets/pluto/facts/
