That\u2019s a curious name for a book, isn\u2019t it? One would think it\u2019s a simple process. Step 1 \u2013 Fill glass with gin. Step 2 \u2013 Throw head back and pour aforementioned beverage into open mouth. Step 3 \u2013 swallow. But there is much more to enjoying gin than that. How to Drink Gin, Make it, Mix it, Master it is the instruction manual!<\/p>\n<p>This is a great little book for anybody wanting to understand more about this popular spirit. One learns how gin is distilled and all about the botanicals which make each bottle of gin so very different from the next. There is a short history of gin starting way back in the 1500s. Seems Mother\u2019s Ruin has been around for many centuries!<\/p>\n<p>There is an interesting chapter on tasting gin. One might assume that one tastes gin when one drinks it. But first, look at the spirit. Notice the aroma; just think about that mouthful and try to recognise all those flavours. That process gives another dimension to the appreciation of a delicious clean spirit.<\/p>\n<h4>Very convivial hobby<\/h4>\n<p>How to Drink Gin will be the perfect gift, and especially when partnered by a bottle \u2013 and here there are ten suggestions of different styles of gin. We all have our favourites, but this book will allow the lucky recipient to choose a couple that will be to their taste. It might even start a new and very convivial hobby.<\/p>\n<p>And talking of conviviality \u2013 there are lots of Classic Cocktails listed in How to Drink Gin, as well as plenty of information on mixing, glassware and garnishes. One can easily please a crowd or impress that one special person with just the right cocktail.<\/p>\n<p>How to Drink Gin is a tasteful, gift-quality book with lots of good advice, glossy pictures and inspiration. It\u2019s likely going to solve many a Christmas pressie dilemma this year.<\/p>\n<p>How to Drink Gin<br \/>\nAuthor: Sue Telford<br \/>\nPublisher: RedDoor Press<br \/>\nPrice: \u00a312.99<br \/>\nISBN-13: 978-1913062002<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Drink Gin!
