Looking for some inspiration for Christmas gifts for the gin-lover in your life? Or just for your own wish list? If it’s simply spirits you’re after then check out my gin reviews and subscription guides. Or even last year’s festive favourites. But if you’re looking for something a little different then look no further, here’s my pick of the best books, prettiest jewellery and a few other gorgeous gifts for the gin-obsessed!
The Periodic Table of Cocktails by Emma Stokes
Combining Emma – aka The Gin Monkey‘s – love of science and booze, this book takes the principles behind how the periodic table organises the elements and applies them to over 100 cocktails that both look good (as seen on the accompanying poster) and make it easy to find future favourites. Each cocktail is presented with a brief synopsis and full recipe so you can play along at home.
RRP £9.99
