A lot can happen in twelve months. Almost exactly a year ago, I went in to Ethos Eat Drink for a pretty delicious apricot gin sour. Twelve months (and two days) later, Ethos has expanded... and expanded... and expanded. Out the front of the restaurant is a providore and a frozen yoghurt joint... and underneath … Continue reading Ginuary 24th: Beetroot Collins @ Ash & Besters.
Ginuary 14th: Gin Pin @ TQ.
Yes, I woke up this morning with a slightly dry brain. But then I had a lovely day off work, including an expedition to line up a day for later this month, and then my first ever #NLNL event! How do you recover from an hour of dancing on your own in a dark room, … Continue reading Ginuary 14th: Gin Pin @ TQ.
Ginuary 4th: Gin Sour @ Frank.
After a very long day of work today I rolled up to dinner with a group of wonderful people and was momentarily distressed when I found my restaurant selection didn't have any gin cocktails on their short menu. As soon as I mentioned that, I was quickly informed that the pisco sour could easily morph … Continue reading Ginuary 4th: Gin Sour @ Frank.
Ginuary 24th: Axl Rose Ice-Cream @ Sweet Envy.
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 26th: Blackberry Gin Fizz at the 21st Amendment.
I returned to the Museum of Old and New Art today. Yes, even after yesterday's disappointment. Am I a glutton for punishment? No. (Well, this is arguable. But in this scenario, no.) Was the Mona Market on? Yes. Does the Mona Market have a regular stall that's actually a little gin bar? Yes. Did I … Continue reading Ginuary 26th: Blackberry Gin Fizz at the 21st Amendment.
Ginuary 18th: Velvet Muse.
I gave Hobart another chance to impress me tonight and was lucky to meet Ben behind the bar at the Mill on Morrison. The Mill has a short but fun cocktail list—some old things, some new things, a number of infused things. I decided on a new thing: the Velvet Muse. It's Yellow Chartreuse, Bombay … Continue reading Ginuary 18th: Velvet Muse.
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.
