Another Ginuary, another amazing ice-cream from Alistair at Sweet Envy. Axl Rose is a beautiful romance of gin and roses that I first tried back in December and begged for a repeat of in time for the best month of the year because I am crazy about it. Last year's Gin Gin Cucumber was tasty … Continue reading Ginuary 24th: Axl Rose Ice-Cream @ Sweet Envy.
Ginuary 22nd: Apricot Gin Sour @ Ethos Eat Drink.
When people visit Hobart and want a delicious local food experience, I send them in the direction of this restaurant. They've recently added some super cool cocktails to their menu, which meant I couldn't not stop by Ethos for a drink this month. This evening, Chloe and Alice treated me to a gin sour using … Continue reading Ginuary 22nd: Apricot Gin Sour @ Ethos Eat Drink.
Ginuary 18th: Master Cleanse @ MONA Market.
While I'm sad that the 21st Amendment stall isn't back at the MONA market this year, I am glad that a cocktail stall continues to exist—this time run by MONA's own cocktail wizard Adam (he's usually found lurking in the Void bar). Today's gin was in the form of a cleansing combination of West Winds … Continue reading Ginuary 18th: Master Cleanse @ MONA Market.
Ginuary 16th: Kiwi Smash @ the Winston.
Welcome to my local. This is the place I where love nothing more than to eat dirty cheeseburgers and drink pints. Tonight I did that, but I also tested the boundaries and asked for something gin-centric. Luckily for me, it just so happened that the Winston's current feature cocktail was just that. I present the … Continue reading Ginuary 16th: Kiwi Smash @ the Winston.
Ginuary 9th: Dorothy Parker & spicy tonic.
Repeat offending with this from Oceana, but I had to try their house-made tonic syrups. You choose from bitter, sweet, spicy, or citrus, and then you pair that with one of the many gin options from the shelves. I wanted to go with citrus, but unfortunately Oceana were all out of three of their syrups … Continue reading Ginuary 9th: Dorothy Parker & spicy tonic.
Ginuary 8th: Jalapeño Gin Fizz @ Oceana.
My last full day in NYC was an absolute hoot, and the excellent gin-themed news is that I got a chance to meet up with Aaron aka TheGinisIN for a drink! It came close to not happening but shared enthusiasm for gin and sheer determination meant that we made it work. Aaron recommended Oceana to … Continue reading Ginuary 8th: Jalapeño Gin Fizz @ Oceana.
Ginuary 7th: Fragolino @ The Diner.
Today, as literally arctic winds smashed their way through Manhattan's streets, my family and I thought we'd go walk the High Line. I'm glad to report that we all survived, and that was in part thanks to taking refuge in the Diner for some hot chocolate and lunch, and the only gin cocktail that was … Continue reading Ginuary 7th: Fragolino @ The Diner.
Ginuary 6th: Hendrick’s, St-Germain and soda.
Because sometimes you spend your whole day running around Manhattan and end up in a cinema session that doesn't finish until 11:30pm because it's bloody Scorsese and then the cinema has turned off the elevators since you got a ride up to the fourth floor so you're stuck on the fourth floor of a Manhattan … Continue reading Ginuary 6th: Hendrick’s, St-Germain and soda.
Ginuary 5th: Window Box Negroni @ The Marshal.
Today is possibly the best day of Ginuary, because it's my birthday. Hooray! And I turned THIRTY today. Finally. Suck it, twenties. I came across The Marshal by pure luck when I was trawling Yelp reviews and trying to find the perfect place for my birthday dinner. Everywhere else I'd looked at in the nearby … Continue reading Ginuary 5th: Window Box Negroni @ The Marshal.
Ginuary 4th: Leg Before Wicket @ Lantern’s Keep.
I moved to the big smoke today! I have to admit I was a little saddened to be leaving Brooklyn for Manhattan, because I'm a little more Brooklyn hipster than Manhattan socialite, but this isn't a travel blog so let's get down to the GIN. I'm staying in the theater district, with Times Square right … Continue reading Ginuary 4th: Leg Before Wicket @ Lantern’s Keep.
