Gin: The Bartender's Bible

A social history of gin, this guide to the spirit includes everything from its beginnings centuries ago up to its contemporary status as a favored liquor and everything in between. Going through ebbs and flows of popularity over the years, the gin and tonic is what ultimately made gin as well-known and well-liked as it is today.

Complete with recipes and a wealth of information about how this spirit is made, Gin is the perfect gift for the amateur mixologist or the professional barkeep.(This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
