I struggle a little bit with this drink in the same way I struggle a bit with the bar and the brand. Institut Polaire is, at heart, a glorified showroom for Sud Polaire gin and Domaine Simha wine. Sud Polaire advertises as "Antarctic Dry Gin", but is it in a London Dry style or is … Continue reading Ginuary 28th: Antarctic Negroni @ Institut Polaire.
Ginuary 2nd: Love & Victory’s negroni pin.
You may not recall this, but having gin a different way every day for the month doesn't always mean booze. Today my gin came in pin form, and I wore my alcoholic flair with pride. Here I have displayed it artfully in the centre of an enormous succulent. Get yours from Love & Victory if … Continue reading Ginuary 2nd: Love & Victory’s negroni pin.
Ginuary 1st: Twin Turbo Negroni @ the Taste of Tasmania.
We're back, baby! It's always fun to introduce myself to a bartender during Ginuary with, "hello, how are you with challenges?" Mercifully, a good bartender is ALWAYS good with challenges. Harry, working at the Tasmanian Craft Distillers Bar stall at the Taste of Tasmania, was quick enough to whip up one of the specials the … Continue reading Ginuary 1st: Twin Turbo Negroni @ the Taste of Tasmania.
Ginuary 24th: Café Americano @ the Void Bar.
I finished work at MONA two hours before close today, which meant that I rewarded myself with a knock-off down in the void bar while most of my workmates were still busy working. It was grand. The Void Bar's current cocktail menu is quite impressive: a couple of punches to share, a page of creative … Continue reading Ginuary 24th: Café Americano @ the Void Bar.
Ginuary 3rd: Süd Polaire Frozen Negroni @ the Taste of Tasmania.
Historically, the third of Ginuary is the day I celebrate at the Taste of Tasmania (3/5 years now, with exceptionally good excuses for the other two). The festival itself is getting a bit same-same for me—things don't appear to change much year to year, the real challenge is in scanning the stalls for any new … Continue reading Ginuary 3rd: Süd Polaire Frozen Negroni @ the Taste of Tasmania.
Ginuary 5th: Window Box Negroni @ The Marshal.
Today is possibly the best day of Ginuary, because it's my birthday. Hooray! And I turned THIRTY today. Finally. Suck it, twenties. I came across The Marshal by pure luck when I was trawling Yelp reviews and trying to find the perfect place for my birthday dinner. Everywhere else I'd looked at in the nearby … Continue reading Ginuary 5th: Window Box Negroni @ The Marshal.
Guest post: Muddling Through Ginuary (sans muddling stick)
And today, Jenn checks in on her Ginuary experience. I'm sorry I let you down and didn't post the full recipe for last year's tart, Jenn! I will take the blame for that traumatising experience. Thank you so much for taking on the Ginuary challenge with me, it was a blast! Readers, follow Jenn's exploits … Continue reading Guest post: Muddling Through Ginuary (sans muddling stick)
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 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.
