  • This is going to be fun. Quite like the idea of making 200 fancy drinks 🍸😂
  • @edenmill ‘s new expression Chilli and Ginger in association with @aldiuk tried 3 ways this evening. This gin has a lovely warming gentle heat from the chilli but the flavour of ginger is quite muted. Juniper however is definitely there with a long spicy finish. Just how I like my gin. So first up was @merchantsheart Pink Peppercorn tonic with orange, pineapple sage and fresh root ginger to bring out the gingeriness. A lovely fruity combo. 🍊 Next was plain tonic with root ginger, lemon and chilli which ramped up the spicyness. 🌶 Finally, plain tonic with orange and a little spicy help from @ginfusion_uk Although this gin is a limited edition here’s hoping this won’t be the last of it
  • Unashamedly pink this evening with @bulldog_gin , lychee syrup, @fevertreemixers aromatic tonic and grapefruit to garnish. The lychee and grapefruit go perfectly with the bullish Bulldog. All that is missing is a cinnamon stick or star anise
  • Looking forward to a good read this weekend 🤓
  • Six weeks ago I bunged a handful of gooseberries into some gin in a kilner jar to see how it would turn out. Rather well as it happens. I wasn’t sure the gooseberries would give up any flavour but they did! I have paired the infused gin with a dash of @bottlegreendrinks elderflower cordial and @fevertreemixers elderflower tonic with a lemon slice and it’s quite tasty 😋 Memories of early summer in a glass. Will definitely make again.
  • Monday night tipple with Dry Island Gin from @fourpillarsgin and @hernogin and @fentimansltd Valencia orange tonic, garnished with orange, blueberries and lemon balm ~ I didn’t have any lemon myrtle. I love the combination with the orange tonic. But I’m a sucker for Valencia oranges 🍊
  • Something to aspire to in my clear ice experiments 😂
  • This month’s @craftginclub box is a corker. Can’t wait to try the Dry Island Gin, a collaboration between @hernogin and @fourpillarsgin. A collaboration across the hemispheres promises to be something special. Two bottles of @fentimansltd Valencian orange tonic water, which I love, Tyrell’s @poshcornuk , @greenandblacks assorted dark chocolate collection (drool), two of @whitworthsuk shots, berry & white chocolate and nuts with a touch of chilli (I’ll be hiding those) and a cute little cocktail book from Four Pillars. I shall be busy this evening 🍸
  • The result of our first experiment in making clear ice at home without an ice machine. We used our chest freezer, a tub and a sous vide stick to create a bit of directional flow. We’re happy with the results so far but will keep on with a few more experiments. The ice blocks are actually quite big. About the size of a satsuma. Although they look smaller in the pic.
