Gin Austen by Colleen Mullaney

Winner of the Gourmand Award in the Gin category (US), this delightful cocktail book proves it is a truth universally acknowledged that a person in possession of good taste must be in want of a proper drink.

Step into the elegant world of Regency England, where Jane Austen’s beloved characters gathered for picnics, dinner parties, and glamorous balls—and where conversation flowed as freely as the punch. Gin Austen brings that sparkling social scene to your home bar with fifty expertly crafted cocktails inspired by all six of Austen’s novels.

Toast Pride and Prejudice with a Fizzy Miss Lizzie or a Salt & Pemberley. Honor Sense and Sensibility with a Brandon Old-Fashioned or an Elinorange Blossom. Each recipe balances period authenticity with modern mixology, featuring cobblers, crustas, flips, punches, shrubs, and sours that would feel at home in both a Regency drawing room and your contemporary kitchen.

Beyond the recipes, this beautifully designed volume enriches your experience with enlightening quotes from Austen’s novels and personal letters, stunning photography, and period details that transport you to another era. Whether you’re hosting a book club gathering, planning a themed party, or simply want to sip something special while rereading your favorite Austen novel, this collection offers the perfect accompaniment.

An essential addition to any Janeite’s library, Gin Austen celebrates the wit, romance, and social graces of Jane Austen’s world—one delicious cocktail at a time.
