Whisky Flips with brandy, and Margaritas with white rum. Now is the
time for experimenting and having fun. And who knows? Maybe

'Excellent' - Susy Atkins, the Telegraph For everyone and anyone
who wants to understand more about gin, this is the definitive
guide - covering the best gins the world has to offer, history and
production methods, and the countries that have helped make gin a
global success story. Never has there been a more striking
revolution in the world of distilled spirits than the current
renaissance of gin. With small craft distilleries popping up all
over the world, from Texas to Tasmania, more varieties and
techniques being used than ever before, and a tapestry of tastes
from light and citrusy to big bold savoury notes, gin's appeal is
extraordinarily wide and varied. From gin made in small batches
from local botanicals, through to large facilities which make some
of the world's most recognized gin brands, World Atlas of Gin looks
at everything from the botanical to the bottle: how and where
botanicals are grown and harvested and their role within the
flavour of gin; producers and the stories behind their brands;
exactly where, and how, gins are made; and, country by country, the
best examples to try. Global cocktails are covered too, including
the history and country of origin of some of the best-known mixed
gin drinks.

Bible is the ultimate guide to the ultimate drink.
Divided Spirits tells the stories of tequila and mezcal, two of
Mexico's most iconic products. In doing so, the book illustrates
how neoliberalism influences the production, branding, and
regulation of local foods and drinks. It also challenges the
strategy of relying on "alternative" markets to protect food
cultures and rural livelihoods. In recent years, as consumers
increasingly demand to connect with the people and places that
produce their food, the concept of terroir - the taste of place -
has become more and more prominent. Tequila and mezcal are both
protected by denominations of origin (DOs), legal designations that
aim to guarantee a product's authenticity based on its link to
terroir. Advocates argue that the DOs expand market opportunities,
protect cultural heritage, and ensure the reputation of Mexico's
national spirits. Yet this book shows how the institutions that are
supposed to guard "the legacy of all Mexicans" often fail those who
are most in need of protection: the small producers, agave farmers,
and other workers who have been making tequila and mezcal for
generations. The consequences-for the quality and taste of tequila
and mezcal, and for communities throughout Mexico-are stark.
Divided Spirits suggests that we must move beyond market-based
models if we want to safeguard local products and the people who
make them. Instead, we need systems of production, consumption, and
oversight that are more democratic, more inclusive, and more
participatory. Lasting change is unlikely without the involvement
of the state and a sustained commitment to addressing inequality
and supporting rural development.
'The Ultimate G&T' -- Jamie Oliver 'The best tonic on the
planet' -- Ashton Kutcher The first cocktail book to put the mixers
centre-stage, from brilliant Fever-Tree brand and created by
leading bartenders around the world. Rather than starting with the
spirits, this book focuses on key mixers - including tonic,
lemonade, ginger ale, ginger beer and cola. Leading bartenders have
created 125 classic and contemporary cocktail recipes that make the
most of the botanical partnerships. The book also explores the
origins of key ingredients, including quinine, lemons and
elderflower, revealing the role quinine has played in geo-politics,
for example, and the impact different herbs have on taste. In the
way that we increasingly want to know the source and production
methods of the food we eat, so this guide allows you to understand
more fully what we drink - and use that knowledge to create the
most delicious cocktails.
