Drinks by the Dram – Have yourself a Boozy Little Christmas

I love sweets, but I'm not a massive fan of chocolate, so your standard chocolaty advent calendar really doesn't cut it with me. Thankfully, for the last few years I have managed to avoid any chocolate because I've been lucky enough to have a gin advent calendar to tuck into instead! Drinks by the Dram… Continue reading Drinks by the Dram – Have yourself a Boozy Little Christmas

Jaffa Cake Gin – Negroni

When I was contacted by Atom Brands and asked if I fancied trying their Jaffa Cake Gin, I'm not going to lie, I was a little dubious.  I immediately heard chants of "#StopFuckingWithGin" ringing in my ears and was worried this could be a very sticky, sickly, sweet drink.  However, knowing that Atom Brands were… Continue reading Jaffa Cake Gin – Negroni

This cocktail is a twist on a delicious gin classic and I must say I enjoyed it rather a lot. A few weeks into lockdown, a friend who lives just around the corner dropped a bag of delicious homemade goodies at our front door.  Inside were homemade scones and blueberry jam.  The accompanying note read...… Continue reading Blueberry Gin Sour
