Aromatic, refreshing, delicious and a feast for the eyes, the
generously-sized and creatively garnished ‘gin tonica’
Spanish-style drink is taking the cocktail world by storm.
Spaniards love their gin and tonics. In Spain, the bartender
doesn’t ask you what you want to drink, he asks you how you want
your gin and tonic prepared. This simplest of drinks – just gin,
tonic, ice and a garnish – is now considered the national drink
of Spain. The trend started in the north of Spain, in Basque
country, where you can walk into a bar and upon ordering you are
presented with a cart teeming with gin and tonic options to create
your very own bespoke drink. A beautiful cocktail with a variety of
herb and flower garnishes, a Spanish-style gin and tonic or ‘gin
tonica’, is made with a premium gin and the best quality tonic
water, combined with bitters and various herbs, spices, flowers and
fruits that will complement the botanicals of a specific gin. It is
served over ice in an oversized balloon glass – the idea being
that the shape enables the drinker to enjoy all the lovely aromas
their drink gives off. For a cocktail with only two ingredients,
the flavour potential is staggering! Making a gin tonica is an
intricate process, sometimes taking a barman as long as 15 minutes
to deliver the ideal drink. The ice has to be dense so that it
melts slowly, the glass might be spritzed with a fine layer of
citrus oil, chilled to perfection, with the tonic poured in
delicately. No detail is ignored, the wait is part of the
experience, and the result is absolutely delicious. Attention to
detail and respect for the classic is what truly elevates the
Spanish gin tonica above all others. With more gin brands and
styles of tonic available than ever before, and 40 inspired recipes
here to try at home, there has never been a better time to discover
the joy of the gin tonica – saludos!
Religious freedom is a foundational value of the United States, but
not all religious minorities have been shielded from religious
persecution in America. This book examines why the state has acted
to protect some religious minorities while allowing others to be
persecuted or actively persecuting them. It details the persecution
experiences of Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, Jews, the
Nation of Islam, and orthodox Muslims in America, developing a
theory for why the state intervened to protect some but not others.
The book argues that the state will persecute religious minorities
if state actors consider them a threat to political order, but they
will protect religious minorities if they believe persecution is a
greater threat to political order. From the beginning of the
republic to after 9/11, religious freedom in America has depended
on the state's perception of political threats.

Over 30 classic recipes and modern twists for Italy's most iconic
cocktail, the Negroni. The Negroni has been a favourite with
discerning cocktail drinkers for over a century but has perhaps
never been as popular as it is today. What started off as a simple,
equal-parts, three-ingredient cocktail (campari, gin, vermouth) has
become a global sensation. Included here are recipes for
classic Negronis from straight-up over ice to a sparkling aperitivo
spritz. This basic formula is then played with in endless ways with
Negronis designed for different seasons; bright and citrusy summer
versions; cosier, spiced winter drinks; and celebratory cocktails
for special occasions. These exciting variations make use of both
dry, sweet and aged vermouths, along with ports and sherries, and
some truly experimental non-gin negronis (made using bourbon, rum
or even mezcal) really open up the playing field! Â
