The Bartender's Gin Compendium

by Gary Regan

This book is for amateur mixologists, and it’s for the pros. It’s for gin tipplers, gin connoisseurs, gin lushes, gin swiggers, gin aficionados, and this book’s for people who don’t like gin, too. I’m in the mood to change some minds out there.“Reading this highly informative and raffishly charming book is almost as fun as sharing a drink—and make mine a Doc Daneeka Royale, or maybe an 1820, or a Leo Di Janeiro, or, hell, you choose—with the highly informative and raffishly charming Mr. Regan himself (but please don’t tell him I said so; it’ll only encourage him).”—David Wondrichauthor of Imbibe,and numerous other fine worksof cocktailian splendour.

Nothing earth-shattering here, but it is a solid history and primer from a legend. I think I got one recipe to try (I had missed the Breakfast Martini somehow), and I did like the mini-Drunken Botanist review of the story of Gin’s key botanicals from, the former distiller of Tanqueray.
