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!

ISGD 2020 – The Orkney Distillery
Anyone who knows me knows I'm a massive fan of Scottish gins. Having two Glaswegian parents and four Scottish grandparents I will always describe myself as Scottish...despite the fact that I was born in England, technically I'm full of Scots blood, right? My gin collection is filled with a very large number of gins from… Continue reading ISGD 2020 – The Orkney Distillery

Well my lovelies, you all know how much I love a gin with a good story and in Massingberd-Mundy it would seem I've stumbled upon a pretty good one.

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
Chapel Down Bacchus Gin – Garden of England Cocktail

Made with a grappa and wheat base spirit, the botanicals in Chapel Down Bacchus Gin are designed to mirror the flavour profile of the Bacchus… Continue reading Chapel Down Bacchus Gin – Garden of England Cocktail
Virtual Gin Tours and Tastings
22.6.2020 It's pretty crazy to think that we've now spent almost 100 days in lockdown. I know it has been eased and we're able to do much more, but I for one am missing the pub. With no end in sight just yet, we've got to look at the positives. We've all become much more… Continue reading Virtual Gin Tours and Tastings
Personalised Bottles from Brentingby
It's no secret that since the launch of Brentingby Gin back in September 2018 Bruce (the founder) and I have become pretty good friends. Our relationship is such that Bruce knows my Hubby and I would tell him if we think his gin sucks, even better is that he's totally ok with it and welcomes… Continue reading Personalised Bottles from Brentingby

Blueberry Gin Sour
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
