Elephant Gin, anyone?

There are so many of us in the world that readily confess to a deep love for gin and tonic. What if one could harness this collective passion, the world over, and turn it into something good? Robin Gerlach and Tessa Wienker travelled through Africa in 2011 and had exactly this thought.

Francesca Marciano
