Cocktail recipe books are commonly filled with intimidating recipes and complicated ingredient lists but Sipsmith is introducing a cocktail book of its own that celebrates all things uncomplicated. Sip is the first book from the London distiller and it shares 100 gin cocktails that can be prepared with just three ingredients. The dozens of recipes that can be found in the book have the potential to be enjoyed year-round, as it contains a well-balanced mix of "summer sippers to winter warmers."
The cocktail book is based on the same principles that surround the brand's authentic London Dry gin recipe, which is simple yet delicious. Some of the recipes that can be found inside Sip include The G&P—which combines Sipsmith London Dry Gin with fresh pineapple juice—and The London Mule, a twist on the classic Moscow Mule.
