From the Back Cover

Gin & tonic is no longer hype, it's the trend. The explosive increase in gin production, whereupon even cocktail bars and restaurants create their own version, has provided us with a rich selection. But which tonic do you choose for your gin? Which herbs go well with your gin & tonic? Cucumber or perhaps lime or neither one? What is the source of this revival and what is the history of gin?

Gin expert Frédéric Du Bois and culinary writer Isabel Boons try to answer all your questions and inspire you - as a gin lover - to make your own creations. With the practical arrangement of the gins and tonics in this guide, you will never make the wrong choice. This completely revised gold edition of Gin & Tonic contains more than 400 gins, classics and newbies. In addition to 50 tonics, around 110 gins are described in detail.

This unique gincyclopedia provides you with an extensive and factual overview of all the gins available on the market, and introduces you to the best gin bars in the world.
