Here's a story for you. Ginuary is also on twitter, facebook and tumblr, right? A day or two ago, this tumblr account called It's a Cock-Off! reblogged a couple of Ginuary posts. As I am a curious soul, I checked out the tumblr, and saw they'd reblogged something fairly delicious-looking from another tumblr account, I … Continue reading Ginuary 25th: Afternoon Tipple.
Ginuary 24th: Clover Club.
Today is Tuesday, and yet I woke up knowing I had to do nothing at all today. Hooray for holidays! To celebrate, I decided to have my favourite cocktail. I've hesitated over making this because one of the ingredients is egg white, and I've been anxious about my shaking skills. With nothing else on the … Continue reading Ginuary 24th: Clover Club.
Ginuary 23rd: English Afterthought.
I am back at home with two weeks of holidays ahead of me. Everything's coming up Ginuary. I bought a bunch of fresh berries from the supermarket the other day and they are so delicious! Time to make things with them! Gin things. English Afterthought 60ml gin 15ml St-Germain 1 Tbsp blueberries 1 Tbsp fresh … Continue reading Ginuary 23rd: English Afterthought.
Ginuary 22nd: Negroni.
Whoops, this came around sooner than expected. This is proof of how I haven't got Ginuary planned out for every single day. I wasn't sure where I'd be today - I've ended up in Kingscliff on the northern coast at my dad's holiday unit, but I could have been at home, or I could have … Continue reading Ginuary 22nd: Negroni.
Ginuary 21st: Gin & Tonic Tart.
Today is the first time I've run past midnight for posting my daily gin. No regrets. I was hanging out with some awesome friends, one of whom volunteered to participate in Ginuary by making something delicious. Apparently a couple of months ago, her mother handed her a recipe and said, "Your friends like gin, … Continue reading Ginuary 21st: Gin & Tonic Tart.
Ginuary 20th: Winchester.
I can't even tell you how excited I was about tonight's drink, once I finally decided to commit to it. It may have been on the same level as my excitement for the next two weeks, because I'm on holidays. No stinkin' work! I hope my boss isn't reading this. Hi boss, I miss you … Continue reading Ginuary 20th: Winchester.
Ginuary 19th: Monkey Taxonomy.
Tonight I had the good fortune of taking myself out to Salon Lounge in Teneriffe. The cocktail menu there is something worth pouring over, as it ranges from basic cocktails through improved martinis through liquid nitrogen. Forty-three pages of joy, wonder and alcohol (well, forty-two - the last page is mocktails). Salon has a house … Continue reading Ginuary 19th: Monkey Taxonomy.
Ginuary 18th: Aperol Negroni.
This one goes out to Aaron, AKA The Gin is In. Dude is pretty serious about his negronis. I couldn't even bring myself to buy Campari, so I'm sorry, Aaron, but this Negroni is a bastard child. Aperol Negroni 30ml gin 30ml Aperol 30ml sweet vermouth Pour all three ingredients into an ice-filled mixing … Continue reading Ginuary 18th: Aperol Negroni.
Ginuary 17th: Gin-Gin-Gin Mule.
I needed something relatively quick this afternoon, as I had a dinner to get to. It needed to be quick and it needed to contain one of the two flavoured sugar syrups I'd made up on the weekend because I was super keen to try them out. Hunting around brought me to Cocktailia, and from … Continue reading Ginuary 17th: Gin-Gin-Gin Mule.
Ginuary 16th: Singapore Sling.
I was going to have a new and exciting recipe for you tonight, with an official "on location" adventure. I still had the adventure, but the new and exciting recipe is still in the wings. Sorry, everyone. This wasn't the drink I was looking forward to having tonight, but it was definitely tasty. The Singapore … Continue reading Ginuary 16th: Singapore Sling.
