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

A Very Boutique-y Christmas – 2019 Gin Advent Calendar
For the past couple of years I have been lucky enough to receive an advent calendar from the gorgeous lovelies at That Boutique-y Gin Company in collaboration with Drinks by the Dram, and this year has been no different! Thankfully, as the arrival of Baby Button is imminent (apparently I'm making things a little too cosy… Continue reading A Very Boutique-y Christmas – 2019 Gin Advent Calendar
Blood Orange and Cumin Margarita
Last year the gorgeous Steph from That Boutique-y Gin Company put together an incredible array of advent serves to go with the Boutique-y Gin Advent Calendar. She did an fantastic job and I can only imagine the amount of time it must have taken her to compile. This year she handed the baton to us,… Continue reading Blood Orange and Cumin Margarita
Red Snapper
After accidentally having one too many grown up drinks last night and being up early this morning to walk Juniper and pick some more sloes, I have been left feeling a little jaded.

Aphrodite’s Rickey
Friday night most certainly reeks of cocktails, so here is a little recipe to kick off your weekend! For this cocktail you'll need a bottle of Strawberry & Balsamico Gin.

The Advent Plan – That Boutique-y Gin Company
Now I am well aware that we are long past the 12th day of Christmas and all the Christmas decorations and chatter should be safely locked away for another 11 months, however, I had a pretty fab time this year in the build up to Christmas and I'd like to share it with you. I'm… Continue reading The Advent Plan – That Boutique-y Gin Company
The Chocolate Orange
Behind one of my Boutique-y Gin Advent Calendar doors I was rather excited to find a wee dram of Chocolate Orange Gin. Yup, you heard right, Chocolate Orange Gin. This was calling out to be used in a cocktail. The advent serving suggestion on the "That Boutique-y Gin Company" website was a Brunch Martini, but… Continue reading The Chocolate Orange
