The Gin Drinker's Year is a celebration of all things gin and packed full of cocktails, food and ginfused recipes.
With everything from 150 gin cocktails and gin-infusions, plus 30 delectable gin-spiked food recipes such as Gin Penne and Minty G&T Lollies, to heartfelt tributes to Snoop Dogg's 'Gin & Juice', the sozzled wit and wisdom of renowned gin soak Dorothy Parker and the rules of Gin Pong and Ten-Gin Bowling, there's an entry for every day of the year.
You'll also discover fascinating snippets of gin-eral knowledge such as the history of vermouth, the birthday gift that the beefeaters of the Tower of London are given every year, and why you most definitely should be celebrating National Gingerbread Day.
