If you’ve spent most of the summer trying to perfect the gin-and-tonic (and many of us have) there are only a couple more weekends to get it right. I suggest getting some immediate expert help, in the form of an entire book devoted to the subject: Gin & Tonic: The Complete Guide for the Perfect Mix by Frederic Du Bois & Isabel Boons.
Want to know the history of the drink? How to move from floral to fruity to spicy in your mix? It’s all in here. In addition to describing just about every gin every tonic available today, the authors include flavor diagrams, lists of top bars, key dates in gin history.
AND the secret list of the herbs and flavorings in each gin!
