I must confess I was a little jealous when a boozy buddy contacted me with a picture of what seemed like a gazillion boxes of gin, with jealousy fast switching to excitement as he asked if I'd be interested in receiving one of the boxes!! Erm...absolutely yes! Baby Button is due in a couple of… Continue reading The Gin Box – A Great Gift Idea

Nicholson Gin
Now, unless you were living under a rock for the month of July, you must have noticed that things went a touch crazy on the sporting side of life. Personally, I'm a tennis fan, with Wimbledon being my sporting highlight of the year. I go into full on screaming at the TV mode, particularly when… Continue reading Nicholson Gin
Lyme Bay – Pink Grapefruit Gin
A wee while ago I was contacted by Lyme Bay Winery to ask if I fancied trying out some of their gin. I'd seen a flurry of posts across social media and was most definitely intrigued..."Yes please!" Lyme Bay Winery have two different gins under their belts and I was keen to see which would… Continue reading Lyme Bay – Pink Grapefruit Gin
Gin and Tonic Drizzle Cake
Well, this bank holiday weekend isn't looking like it's going to be quite as fabulous as the Easter one, not here anyway. Although it's not raining just yet, the grass is a little on the soggy side out there and the sky has a scattering of cloud. So, in the absence of reaching for my… Continue reading Gin and Tonic Drizzle Cake

They have just launched their new 10cl mini decanter, which in my opinion is a great size to buy if you're… Continue reading Norfolk Gin
Let’s be honest…
As the Gin Industry is expanding and the market is becoming hugely saturated with our favourite tipple one would expect that people would be (very) merrily dancing in the streets and raising their voices in chants of praise and exultation. To a degree this has happened. More and more people are talking about gin, writing… Continue reading Let’s be honest…

Pomegranate Gin Fizz
Well, I'm not sure about you guys but I've had a rather fabulous and slightly boozy Christmas. Not going to lie, Christmas day for me was mostly prosecco rather than gin but hey...what's a few glasses of fizz between gin friends? Boxing day saw the arrival of my Lil Bro with his fabulous Fiancée and this… Continue reading Pomegranate Gin Fizz
Silent Pool Gin Sensory Cocktail Experience
I'm very fortunate in the respect that over the past few weeks I've been invited to and attended some pretty fabulous gin events. Even more interestingly, they all seem to have had one thing in common, see if you can guess the connection. That Boutique-y Gin Company launched their new Olfactor-y range of perfume-inspired gins. … Continue reading Silent Pool Gin Sensory Cocktail Experience
