I came very, very close to doing this one earlier in the month, because I was in a bit of a rush that day and happened to have all the ingredients at hand. Thankfully my partner in crime reminded me that I had a perfect opportunity on the very near horizon to drink a Blue … Continue reading Ginuary 31st: Blue Moon.
Ginuary 30th: Demeter cologne.
When you're too busy to drink gin, you can at least smell like you're not too busy to drink gin. Right? I think that's how it works. Works for me!
Ginuary 29th: Lady Hester doughnuts.
One of the best things about walking in the door of Ginuary Hobart on Saturday was being handed a sampling glass, a program, and a mini Lady Hester doughnut filled with apricot jam and gin. Hello, yes. Delicious. (Ok, so I didn't get handed one of these because I was madly stuffing programs into sampling … Continue reading Ginuary 29th: Lady Hester doughnuts.
Ginuary 27th: Gin-uary Hobart Gin Festival.
Where and how do I start with today's festivities? Maybe you'll just have to make do with photos today, instead. I'll come back and write more when I'm less hungover. (So I guess you could say it was a good day with plenty of samples.) The demographic was all over the place, which was pretty … Continue reading Ginuary 27th: Gin-uary Hobart Gin Festival.
Ginuary 26th: Bleuberry Uckas @ Street Eats Franko.
Another non-premeditated gin evening at Franko! Charles Oates Apple Blanco was the guest star of the week at Spirit People, and yet my eyes still went directly to the drink with "cucumber gin" listed as one of its ingredients. The Bleuberry Uckas features the Apple Blanco as well as a cucumber skin infused gin. And … Continue reading Ginuary 26th: Bleuberry Uckas @ Street Eats Franko.
Ginuary 22nd: the Bohemian, with Elderflower Foam.
Thanks to a generous Peychaud's donation, I finally got to tick this one off my list. Thanks to Pinterest, it was on my list in the first place (very pretty, Kitchen Swagger!). Yet again I could have done some googling and just made a plain ol' Bohemian, which would have been delicious. Unless the gin/grapefruit/elderflower … Continue reading Ginuary 22nd: the Bohemian, with Elderflower Foam.
Ginuary 21st: Hendrick’s Summer Punch @ Mona Foma.
"Do you want to check out the festival?" "Sure." "Good, because I need to find the gin tent." "Gin tent?" "Gin tent." Hendrick's Gin is one of Mona Foma's sponsors and gives me a very specific reason to look forward to festival season. Official sponsors mean official cocktail recipes, so it means we'll be able … Continue reading Ginuary 21st: Hendrick’s Summer Punch @ Mona Foma.
Ginuary 19th: Golden Peach Nelly @ Gold Bar Hobart.
Mofo weekend is here and that means some weird hours over the next few days! I'm at work until 3:30am tonight! Here is a drink that Ian, the legend behind Gold Bar Hobart, concocted for me! It is delicious and custardy and creamy and I'm a happy girl. The Golden Peach Nelly is made of … Continue reading Ginuary 19th: Golden Peach Nelly @ Gold Bar Hobart.
Ginuary 16th: Gin & Tonic chocolate block.
I had grand plans for today but the best laid plans mean that sometimes you end up eating half a block of dark chocolate as consolation. I found this sweet thing on the shelves at my favourite little curated homewares store, Home State Hobart. It's made in Scotland by Coco Chocolatier but somehow ended up … Continue reading Ginuary 16th: Gin & Tonic chocolate block.
Ginuary 7th: Sweet Cecilys Gin & Tonic flavour lip balm.
On a day like today, everyone else is having a nice time and I'm working all day (albeit having a nice time doing it). Talking to people all day means keeping my lips moisturised, and today was made all the better by regularly reaching for the gin & tonic in my pocket. I'll admit, some … Continue reading Ginuary 7th: Sweet Cecilys Gin & Tonic flavour lip balm.
