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 14th: the Lumière.
The Lumiére 45ml gin (I used Never Never Triple Juniper) 30ml St-Germain 22.5ml Green Chartreuse 22.5ml fresh lime juice dash of orange bitters Stir all ingredients together over ice and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Some nights you win and some nights you think you know what you're doing and stop reading halfway through … Continue reading Ginuary 14th: the Lumière.
Ginuary 11th: Grapefruit Vieux Mot.
Yesterday I said I wanted to use up a bunch of Green Chartreuse this year, and after re-sorting all my Pinterest drink links, I've realised I also want to make a bunch of drinks with grapefruit juice. Like... a bunch. I'm glad Pinterest Boards can now have sub-boards because one within my gin board is … Continue reading Ginuary 11th: Grapefruit Vieux Mot.
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 6th: Hendrick’s, St-Germain and soda.
Because sometimes you spend your whole day running around Manhattan and end up in a cinema session that doesn't finish until 11:30pm because it's bloody Scorsese and then the cinema has turned off the elevators since you got a ride up to the fourth floor so you're stuck on the fourth floor of a Manhattan … Continue reading Ginuary 6th: Hendrick’s, St-Germain and soda.
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 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 20th: Winchester.
I can't even tell you how excited I was about tonight's drink, once I finally decided to commit to it. It may have been on the same level as my excitement for the next two weeks, because I'm on holidays. No stinkin' work! I hope my boss isn't reading this. Hi boss, I miss you … Continue reading Ginuary 20th: Winchester.
Ginuary 13th: the Dunniette.
It's Friday evening, and I'm tired. I want something quick and easy, and I want something with St-Germain in it, because I gave in and bought myself a Summer Soirée gift set (it was actually cheaper than buying a 750ml bottle on its own, which seems a bit ridiculous). Dunniette 45ml gin 15ml St-Germain 15ml … Continue reading Ginuary 13th: the Dunniette.
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.
