Behind The Bar: Gin by Alia Akkam

Behind the Bar: Gin uncovers 50 gin cocktails from bars around the world, as well as anecdotes from the gin scene.

In Behind the Bar: Gin, Alia Akkam gives a guided tour of bars around the world and their gin cocktails. From the Enzoni Cobbler at the Gin Palace in Melbourne to a Southern riff on the Gin & Tonic at The Gin Joint in Charleston, there is a simple recipe for anyone wanting to whip up a cocktail at home in no time.

Along with recipes, Behind the Bar: Gin explores stories surrounding the bars and their cocktails, as well as interesting gin-based nuggets of inspiration – from sloe gins, the Negroni Sbagliato, to guides on tonics and punches, there is a lot to discover!

With its beautiful illustrations and accessible style of writing, this will appeal to the armchair traveller as much as the keen home bartender.
