Gin, distinctive for its combination of juniper berries & botanicals such as coriander & angelica, continues to be a main player in the modern cocktail bar, in both classic & modern guises.
The recent growth in micro-distilleries & fashionable gin bars has made a significant impact on its profile as a drink with a contemporary vibe. There is even a World Gin Day, the second Saturday in June, an event that sees festivals, cocktail hours, street parties & tastings all over the world.
The Bartender's Guide to Gin starts with a thorough guide to equipment & approaches, followed by a heady selection of 100 gin-based recipes. These include old favourites such as Gin Sling & Alabama Slammer, exotic concoctions such as Magnolia Blossom & Bloodhound, & modern recipes celebrating new trends & ingredients, such as Mango & Black Pepper Cocktail & Gin & Matcha Green Tea Cocktail.
Selected pages also offer useful practical information about the colourful history of gin, from the early Genever gins to the use of gin for medicinal purposes.
