We have the 5th edition still. It’s close to falling apart, has drink stains, hand written notes and ratings. It’s known as “The bible” in our house, the missus won’t accept any other book lol.

I bought the book (and your jigger) from Amazon here in the US. Absolutely love the book - it's fantastic for just browsing for inspiration, which we did last night when some friends came over. Added bonus: my name and some recipes also appear in there. Very cool.
Really recommend this cocktail book!

An incredible job!
Compared to the 30 cocktail books I have read before, DGtC offers recipes that work and have actually been tested by the author and not theoretical writings with omissions and misunderstandings as is often the case.
This is not to say that you will like all the recipes as everyone has their own tastes, but even the type of cocktails you don't like (bittersweats in my case) suddenly appear in a completely new light and you even start to enjoy some of them!
My hat's off to you!

Does the book contain all distillates and their preparations?
2nd September 2022 at 08:08
No, the book is focused on cocktail recipes - more than 3,000 of them.

Does the book contain cocktails with Nolet’s Gin Silver?

Thanks for the reply and advice Mr. Difford.

Not that specify Nolet's Silver Dry Gin but you could use this in place of my suggested brand of gin. Nolet's Silver is very floral and generous in both flavour and alcohol strength so perhaps use a little less that the stated measure for the gin in each cocktail.

I sadly had to pass on the book when they were available in Australia :(
What is the postage cost to Australia? I would really love one. But I know it’s probably expensive.

Hi Jess, unfortunately the shipping cost from the UK to Australia seems to keep rising at the moment. Last week when I looked at a comparison of a few shipping companies it was over £50. We are looking to distribute locally but this is a few months away. Sorry, I'd love to make this happen more quickly!
