That’s the Spirit! 100 of the World’s Greatest Spirits and Liqueurs to Drink with Style by Jonathan Ray is a brilliant guide for those who appreciate a well-crafted beverage or aspire to hone their cocktail-making abilities. Written by the drinks editor of the Spectator, this hardcover book brims with knowledge, humour, and stories that will captivate both seasoned aficionados and newcomers.

Within these pages, Ray showcases an impressive line-up of whiskies, gins, tequilas, mezcals, grappas, rums, and more. He introduces the fascinating personalities behind each brand, highlighting the heritage, passion, and creative processes that make these drinks so memorable. Whisky fans will appreciate the chance to discover new distilleries and revisit long-established favourites, while lovers of gin will be inspired to try Dutch genever for a twist on their usual tipple. Fans of indulgent liqueurs, such as Bailey’s, will savour Ray’s amusing commentary and recommendations for the best way to enjoy them.

Although this book features 100 specific bottles, it goes far beyond a simple catalogue. Ray also includes suggestions on assembling an essential cocktail toolkit at home, helping readers gather the right equipment and glassware for maximum enjoyment. The author explores the allure of legendary bars around the globe, inviting readers to dream about sipping classic concoctions in iconic establishments. His tips for mixing drinks at home are accessible and practical, ensuring that even novices can create top-quality cocktails.

An extra highlight of this volume is Ray’s entertaining anecdotes about historically enthusiastic drinkers who may have overindulged. These stories bring a dash of humour and flair to the discussion, reminding us that the human relationship with spirits can be as colourful as the bottles themselves. The text’s tone is approachable and lively, making it easy to learn something new without feeling overwhelmed.

That’s the Spirit! Stands as an engaging tribute to the diversity of the drinks world. It’s the perfect companion for anyone looking to expand their palate, curate a more exciting home bar, or simply enjoy an adventurous drink. Whether you’re a budding connoisseur or just starting your journey, this book offers fresh insights and encourages experimentation.
