    Rhubarb & Ginger Bellini Cocktail Recipe

    March 20, 2018

    The traditional Bellini is made with white peaches. White peaches are a bit scarce north of the Mediterranean. Which got me thinking. What could be more traditionally British in spring than rhubarb and ginger?

  • These dark evenings are perfect for being in the kitchen, warm and cosy and cooking good food. Tonight I’m making Apple Crumble Gin with apple, cinnamon, fresh ginger and brown sugar, following a recipe from @theusualsaucepans. Head on over to their website for the full recipe.
  • Excited already! #junipalooza #london #2019 #saturday #greatdistillers #greatgin #greatatmosphere
  • Tonka beans. The signature botanical in @Bullards London Dry Gin. Smells and tastes of marzipan 😋
  • Great morning interviewing Head Distiller Peter Smith of @bullardsgin for my Meet the Distiller series. He has to be working in one of the smallest distilleries I’ve seen ~ not much bigger than the average kitchen. Having tried Bullards new Old Tom, launched yesterday, with its honey, mango and grapefruit flavours I was keen to try some of his ‘experiments’. If you are a Bullards fan head over to their page. They are crowdfunding at the moment to move to a bigger site with a 600L still, quadrupling their output. Help Peter get some more elbow room 😉
  • @york_gin 3 ways this evening. First up the Cocoa. This was a surprise. It smells and tastes! of cocoa but not in a sweet chocolate way. Very good with plain tonic and cinnamon and orange 🍊 Next was the York Dry, a great zesty juniper forward gin. We paired it with plain tonic and lemon zest to bring out the citrus notes even more 🍋 Lastly, was the Roman Fruits. Sweeter than the other two, we again paired it with plain tonic and lemon zest but added a raspberry. Yum 😋 Big thanks to @york_gin for sending me these samples. . . . #yorkgin #yorkgincocoa #yorkginromanfruits #gin #ginandtonic #gintonic #ginoclock #ginspiration
  • Good things come in small packages so they say and I’m looking forward to trying these miniatures from @york_gin: the York Dry, the Cocoa and the Roman Fruit. Particularly like the sound of the Roman Fruit infused with hibiscus, apple and berries. Thinking @merchantsheart hibiscus tonic would go well 🌺🍏🍋 . . . #yorkgin #romanfruit #gintonic #ginxperiment #isitginoclockyet #feelingginspired
  • I do love it when Eric our postman delivers parcels that say ‘Fragile’, ‘Handle with Care’ and ‘This way up ⬆️’. Thank you @york_gin. Looking forward to opening this! . . . #yorkgin #royalmail #starpostman #unexpectedparcel #gin
  • A lovely morning spent with Janet of @peacheysspirits discussing gin and trying her delicious Noel Gin with key botanicals cinnamon, allspice and star anise, a real Christmas gin, if ever there was one. The balance of flavours was superb without any one of the botanicals dominating and spoiling the party. Looking forward to this expression coming out soon! . . . #christmasgin #peacheysspirits #norfolkdrygin #craftdistiller #gin #smallbatch
  • Apparently it is International Gin and Tonic Day. Purlease! So anyway, here is a little video I made to amuse myself. #growupwoman #internationalginandtonicday #ginandtonic #gintonic
