I'll admit, I feel a little lost post-Ginuary. Who knew that an alcohol-themed month could give one such a sense of purpose? I spent my days sneaking peeks at the Internet while at work, looking for ginny inspiration (?ginspiration), and my nights shaking and muddling and then sinking into the couch in a lovely gin-haze. … Continue reading Guest post: I know it’s over.
Ginuary 25th: Organic Rosemary Martini.
I seem to have fairly terrible luck with ordering drinks at the Void bar in the heart of the Museum of Old and New Art. It seems that any drink I really get my hopes up for, despite being listed on their printed menu, isn't available. It happened last month with a Corpse Reviver #2, … Continue reading Ginuary 25th: Organic Rosemary Martini.
Ginuary 17th: Cucumber Gin Gin Ice-Cream.
Watch out, it's another "I Love Hobart" post. Not long after moving to town, I heard magnificent things about a little neighbourhood cake shop called Sweet Envy. It took a new friend coming to visit with some moon pies that really sealed the deal; the very next day I went to visit for myself. Sweet … Continue reading Ginuary 17th: Cucumber Gin Gin Ice-Cream.
Ginuary 30th: G & T.
Right. I've been home for two days now and procrastinating the heck out of doing these last two posts, but seeing as today is officially one week after the end of Ginuary, it's time to get this over and done with. Yes, I am backdating these posts. No, I have no regrets. Gin & Tonic … Continue reading Ginuary 30th: G & T.

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 9th: Gin Fizz.
You know how I said yesterday was hot? Tonight: 10pm. Apparent temp of 33°C. Humidity 84%. No air conditioning. Please, put me out of my misery. Nuke the whole south-east corner of the state of Queensland. Just do it. It'd be better than this. I couldn't think straight in the heat. All I needed was … Continue reading Ginuary 9th: Gin Fizz.
Ginuary 7th: Bramble.
I have this problem with being stubborn and dogged. Yesterday I went shop-hopping in search of the last few things I wanted for my home bar stock for Ginuary. I found what I was looking for but I also found out that they're all quite expensive. Why aren't there more small bottles sold? That would … Continue reading Ginuary 7th: Bramble.
Ginuary 5th: A Very Ginuary Birthday.
One of the highlights of Ginuary for me is that only five days in, I get to celebrate the anniversary of my birth. Pretty rad. What this means is that today's post will be a little bit special and different. Trust me when I say there is still plenty of gin in this post. Because … Continue reading Ginuary 5th: A Very Ginuary Birthday.
Ginuary 4th: East Side Elder.
Day four of Ginuary and I'm already mixing things up on myself. This drink wasn't even on my list of potentials for the month, but my mum decided to come visit for the night and I wanted to find something I thought she'd like. Turns out this is one that everyone in my house right … Continue reading Ginuary 4th: East Side Elder.
