Sometimes there are these classic cocktails that exist in the Savoy Cocktail Book that you'll probably never get around to ticking off at the home bar because there's that one ingredient that you'll probably only use for that one drink and until you've actually had the drink you just can't know if it's worth it … Continue reading Ginuary 24th: Millionaire Cocktail No.1 @ Gold Bar Hobart.
Ginuary 5th: Pink Spritz @ Ti Ama.
Another 5th of Ginuary, another year older! I had a plan for my birthday this year, but then three days out I heard that my favourite pizza place in greater Hobart was opening doors to their new restaurant tonight, so my plans were dramatically altered to accommodate a visit. Ti Ama has a full page … Continue reading Ginuary 5th: Pink Spritz @ Ti Ama.
Ginuary 31st: sloe on the rocks.
And once again we've come to the end of the road! I marked the occasion today by heading to the end of another road, to drop into Nonesuch Distillery for my first visit. You'll find the distillery around half an hour out of Hobart, just past Sorell. Nonesuch currently exists as a humble wee thing … Continue reading Ginuary 31st: sloe on the rocks.
Ginuary 26th: Sloe Pimm Fizz.
Today was a national public holiday in Australia, so like all good Australians I... worked a full day for public holiday penalty rates. My drink choice was based around a couple of Aussie (Tasmanian, to be exact) favourites I could throw in! Originally found on instagram, thanks to @haywardgary. Sloe Pimm Fizz 22.5ml gin (I … Continue reading Ginuary 26th: Sloe Pimm Fizz.
Ginuary 19th: Sloe & Sour @ Teatro Southbank.
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 11th: Gin Genie.

Ginuary 28th: Sloe Gin Fizz.
Since acquiring some sloe gin earlier this month, all I've done is make a ridiculously delicious dessert with it, so tonight I thought it time I address a classic, while also giving a quick educational spiel on sloe gin. See, the thing is, sloe gin isn't technically gin. Well, kind of. Look—it is, but technically … Continue reading Ginuary 28th: Sloe Gin Fizz.
Ginuary 19th: Sloe Roasted Plums.
It's a delight to finally have some sloe gin in the cupboard to play with, and thank gosh for having this recipe on hand while I'm still on my cold virus deathbed. I spotted some amazing-looking plums on my one voyage out of the house this weekend and thus today's gin seemed fated. Sloe Roasted … Continue reading Ginuary 19th: Sloe Roasted Plums.
Ginuary 3rd: McHenry Sloe Royale @ the Taste of Tasmania.
The final day of the Taste festival and over to my other favourite locals, McHenry's, for a range of options on the board! All of which I've had before, so the Sloe Royale it was. Which was just a delight, because I don't yet have a sloe gin in the cupboard. Attempting to remedy that … Continue reading Ginuary 3rd: McHenry Sloe Royale @ the Taste of Tasmania.
Ginuary 30th: Hedgerow chocolate bar.
Another Tasmania-proud post, is this one. Not an hour's drive from Hobart is a magical town called Cygnet, and in that magical town are many magical places, and just one of those magical places is Cygneture Chocolates. I was fond of Cygneture before they released their Hedgerow bar last June, featuring McHenry's sloe gin... but … Continue reading Ginuary 30th: Hedgerow chocolate bar.
