Gin Made Me Do It

With origins dating back a millennium, when Benedictine monks started distilling juniper-scented spirits for medicinal purposes, gin is a passion for many--including blogger and cocktail maven Jassy Davis. In this stylish guidebook, Davis explains everything you need to know about the spirit: how to choose the perfect bottle, mix the ultimate martini, and deliver delicious cocktails for every occasion.

Beyond the recipes, this beautifully illustrated guide explores gin's fascinating history, explains botanical flavor profiles, and offers practical advice for choosing bottles, stocking a home bar, selecting equipment, and mastering essential cocktail techniques. Charming artwork by Ruby Taylor adds personality and style, making the book as enjoyable to browse as it is to cook from. This book is a delight for any gin aficionado who wants to mix up the perfect gin and tonic--or dive into something more adventurous.
