Historia universal de la ginebra

Gin is probably the most controversial of the spirits, having a far livelier history than the simple and classic martini would lead you to believe. In this book, Lesley Jacobs Solmonson journeys into gin’s past, revealing that this spirit has played the role of both hero and villain throughout history. When gin became popular in England in the late seventeenth century, known as a drink for the lower classes, a controversy that would last for over 100 years was started. Today, gin has lost its negative reputation, and has reclaimed its place in the world of mixology.
