GIN and the 18th century gin craze - Patrick Dillon

Who is Madame Geneva? Take a look in that G & T you're drinking, it's not the tonic... Slang for gin, GIN ... and Madame Geneva begins during the 18th century gin craze that ran though London (and maybe still does?), which had an enormous impact on world cocktail culture. Who drinks what where, kind of thing. We just love these 'history of booze' books, this one is a gem.
