A gin manual for the home mixologist – a perfect gift or self purchase for anyone riding the gin trend
Gin is the spirit of the moment. With such a huge array of new premium and imported brands hitting the US market, a little guidance is surely required.
In GIN, Dan Jones introduces readers to the best gin makers on the planet, as well as some of the most exciting mixes that can be made from the spirit. If you're a fan of a classic G&T and want to take things to unchartered territories, look no further. Featuring all the staples like the Gin Fizz, Martini, and Gimlet, Dan will have you dabbling with a Pink Lady, a Negroni, and a Rhubarb Sparkler in no time.
The cocktails include easy three-ingredient-recipes, from punches and apertifs to teas, martinis, and more. Dan also shares his favorite syrup recipes that will elevate your cocktail-making skills to new levels. With one bottle, you will soon be mixing over 60 drinks that will make you the life and soul of any party.
I got this book from the library. I am going to return it and buy myself a copy. If you enjoy a nice gin every now and again you should buy this book too. It has an interesting short history, information on some of the best known gins, and awesome illustrations. The recipes are a combination of traditional and more adventurous and I intend to try every one.
Really fantastic. A lovely mix of super-simple cocktail recipes and more entailed, special-occasion drinks. A delightful amount of history and general information thrown into the mix.
