Overview:
A sophisticated, curiosity-fueling triple collection for lovers of taste, travel, and storytelling around drinks. This 3-book set brings together a premier gin guide, a celebrated wine compendium, and a stylish, Spain-inspired tonic playbook, all in premium hardcover. Gin: The Manual by Dave Broom demystifies gin in an accessible, trailblazing way—exploring generations of gin styles, how to taste them, and the best ways to enjoy them in cocktails and simple serves. Margaret Rand’s 101 Wines to try before you die invites readers on a carefully curated journey through remarkable wines—iconic, obscure, affordable, and aspirational—chosen to expand palates and spark conversation. Completing the trio, Gin Tonica by David T. Smith dives into the world of Spanish-style gin and tonic cocktails, with practical guidance, garnish ideas, and a passion for the ritual of a perfect serve. Together, these titles offer a cohesive, high-end exploration of spirits, pairing, and tasting that’s ideal for gifting, collecting, or elevating any home bar.
What Makes This Collection Special:

For cocktail lovers, Gin Tonica translates that knowledge into practical, Spanish-influenced recipes and techniques that elevate every home bar moment. The authors bring authority and a refined voice—Dave Broom’s whisky-adjacent clarity, Margaret Rand’s patient, palate-expanding wine philosophy, and David T. Smith’s hands-on cocktail craft—creating a trio that appeals to readers who value precision, nuance, and a touch of cosmopolitan flair. The hardcover format adds to collectability and shelf-appeal, making this set a standout gift for Curators of Craft, BookTok fans, and serious drink enthusiasts alike.
