All the Gin Joints: New Spins on Gin from America's Best Bars (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781466282988)

Engaging and complex, sophisticated and quirky, gin has become a vital component in the mixing cups of a new breed of artisan drinksmiths. Its title an homage to Humphrey Bogart's lament in the 1942 film "Casablanca," offered is the guide to a journey around the upper echelon of the bartending profession in one-hundred-and-one recipes - exploratory gin-based concoctions developed in the progressive cocktail laboratories of American "gin joints," often bringing methods and flourishes of the kitchen to the glass with fresh juices, muddled fruit, infused syrups, earthy spices, and leafy herbs. With this volume as trusted companion, you'll be able to re-create their remarkable formulas with precision and authenticity. With each raised glass, offer a toast to gin - invented by the Dutch, refined by the British, and glamorized by Americans. Borrowing once again from Bogart, "Here's looking at you, kid."
