THE TEMPLES OF THE COCKTAIL MARTINI

The 'Botanist' Gin

This is the best of  the 'modern', 'botanic' gins and I think it deserves the high praise that many critics lavish on it. Being invited to drink it by a couple of famous doctors near Bologna is a splendid occasion to savout it; drinking it ice-cold in a perfectly mixed Martini during a torrid heatwave and with added convenience of a confortable pool is sheer bliss
