Details Condition: Brand New Format: Hardcover ISBN: 9781849758536 Publisher: Ryland Peters & Small Overview Gin Tonica brings the beloved Spanish bar-cart ritual home, showing gin lovers exactly how to build the perfect Spanish-style gin and tonic. Featuring 40 inspired recipes from David T. Smith, one of the drinks world's most respected gin experts, this beautifully presented hardback explores premium gin and tonic pairings, bespoke garnishes, and the artistry behind Spain's national drink. It's the ideal gift for cocktail enthusiasts, home bartenders, and anyone who wants to elevate their gin and tonic game beyond the ordinary. About the Book In Spain, ordering a drink means being asked not what you'd like, but how you'd like your gin and tonic prepared. What began as a Basque country bar tradition — a trolley laden with premium gins, artisan tonics, and an array of botanical garnishes — has become the national drink of Spain, and Gin Tonica captures that spirit in one gorgeously photographed collection. Rather than a simple two-ingredient pour, the Spanish gin tonica is treated as a considered ritual: dense, slow-melting ice, a spritz of citrus oil on a chilled oversized balloon glass, and a delicately poured tonic, all designed to release the drink's full aromatic potential. David T. Smith guides readers through 40 recipes that pair specific gins with complementary tonics, bitters, herbs, spices, flowers, and fruits chosen to enhance each gin's unique botanicals. Whether you're a seasoned home bartender or a curious newcomer, this hardback distils the craft of the perfect gin tonica into approachable, replicable steps — proving that for a drink with only two core ingredients, the flavour possibilities are genuinely staggering. It's a celebration of patience, presentation, and the growing world of premium gins and tonics, bottled into one indispensable reference for any home bar shelf. 40 curated recipes for authentic Spanish-style gin and tonic cocktails Writt
