This publication exhibits the luminous qualities of Legion Paper Company's Cocktail Collection. With a combination of illustrations and paper folds, Gin: an Intoxicating History draws readers into a story best told over a martini.

​

Each historic snippet is punctuated with a thematically-appropriate cocktail recipe. William of Orange's generous introduction of the spirit to the English is celebrated with an Orange Blossom, and the Tom Collins rumor is paired with his namesake, for example.
