Gin in Barcelona

Spain turned the gin and tonic into a ceremony: the big balloon glass, lots of ice, a garnish chosen for the gin. Barcelona has some of its temples.

• Dry Martini (Bar, Eixample): Opened in 1978 and run by Javier de las Muelas since 1996. A counter tallies every Dry Martini served; the millionth was poured in 2010.
• Bobby Gin (Gin bar, Gràcia): A gin-focused bar with a long list of gins and tonics, served in big balloon glasses, each with its own garnish.
• The Original Old Fashioned (Bar, Gràcia): A jazz-age cocktail house known for classic gin and tonics.
