What a day I've had! I could have gotten away with using what I spent the majority of my day doing as my gin of the day, but I think I'll save it for the finished product. I'll probably post the work in progress to Instagram, though... On with today's gin! I did have to … Continue reading Ginuary 19th: Sloe & Sour @ Teatro Southbank.
Ginuary 18th: Sage Advice @ Boilermaker House.
Ah, Melbourne! I do love drinking in you but gosh, I don't have much time on this fly-by trip. I was grateful that my pal was happy to grab some dinner and a cheeky gin in town before we headed out to the Dandenongs! Dinner just happened to be right near a newish little bar … Continue reading Ginuary 18th: Sage Advice @ Boilermaker House.
Ginuary 17th: Sipsmith & rose lemonade.
I'm not hungover today, I'm just super tired. Days after weddings, man! I had a bottle of Fentiman's rose lemonade in the fridge because I saw it in Perth for the first time ever and couldn't help myself. "That would probably be delicious with gin," I said to myself. Likely with Hendrick's and its rose … Continue reading Ginuary 17th: Sipsmith & rose lemonade.
Ginuary 16th: the Ophelia.
My brother got married today. Hooray! There were no spirits on offer at the wedding so I got the chance to do my own signature cocktail for their nuptials. It had to be simple enough for me to throw together on the night but still be interesting and delicious. My brother lives in Perth, WA, … Continue reading Ginuary 16th: the Ophelia.
Ginuary 15th: Cool Hendrick’s @ Cott & Co’s Beach Club.
Sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men aren't actually that well laid and your energy's diverted by the swell surrounding you that's all focused on the fact that your brother's getting married tomorrow and you've been helping to set up and entertaining family all day and you just have to find the nearest … Continue reading Ginuary 15th: Cool Hendrick’s @ Cott & Co’s Beach Club.
Ginuary 14th: Tatty Devine Gin Brooch.
It's been a while since I've done this category! I do feel like it's a bit of a cop-out but at the same time I like to share exciting gin-related finds and it's also a good excuse to enable me to buy things. This brooch was actually a gift from my sister a couple of … Continue reading Ginuary 14th: Tatty Devine Gin Brooch.
Ginuary 13th: Tomato Jam.
What? That's not gin, that's tomatoes. Ah, see... but gin cooks so well with tomatoes. I remember this well from one of my all-time favourite gin foods, the perfect and simple gin penne pasta. This year's recipe obsession has been this one. This one right here. Tomato Jam 1 large shallot, minced 1 Tbsp EVOO … Continue reading Ginuary 13th: Tomato Jam.
Ginuary 12th: the Gibson @ Society Salamanca.
One of the best things about this Ginuary is the excuse to finally get to a couple of newer venues in my city of Hobart. Society Salamanca opened in the second half of 2015 and as soon as it was on my radar I knew it was a place I needed to visit! Society's … Continue reading Ginuary 12th: the Gibson @ Society Salamanca.

Ginuary 10th: the Bloodhound.
I'll be honest here, I had much more exciting plans for today but then I picked up a shift at work and my free time became significantly reduced. Bless a Ginuary to-do list. The Bloodhound 45ml gin (I used Plymouth) 22.5ml sweet vermouth 22.5ml dry vermouth 2-3 muddled strawberries Shake ingredients with ice and double … Continue reading Ginuary 10th: the Bloodhound.
