Ginuary 28th: the Twenty-Eighth.
I had another plan for tonight, but then it was a beautiful, rainy evening and I wanted somebody else to do the work for me. So I texted my pal Barnes and went down to say hi to him at South Seas Cocktail Lounge. The name 'Barnes' may ring a bell—he made me a beautiful … Continue reading Ginuary 28th: the Twenty-Eighth.
Ginuary 20th: Piccadilly Circus.
I started my day at 4:45am in Melbourne when my alarm went off for me to get to the airport, and I ended my day at 10pm when I got home from work in Hobart. Suffice it to say, I am exhausted. I'm very grateful to my past self for hoarding away a delicious limited … Continue reading Ginuary 20th: Piccadilly Circus.
Ginuary 6th: gin & lime cake.
Here it is! What I meant to post yesterday, but it was literally still baking at 10:30pm last night (like I said yesterday, I was a fair bit birthday lazy) and you gotta let a cake cool to ice it, so instead of birthday cake last night I had birthday cake for breakfast. Living the … Continue reading Ginuary 6th: gin & lime cake.
Ginuary 2nd: the Time Traveller.
One downside to spending the last four months recapping on Instagram is that now Ginuary is finally here again, I'm out of habit. I've gotten used to updating IG once a day (sometimes with a recipe) and looking back fondly on that day... but not actually drinking it. I'm all out of content! I gotta … Continue reading Ginuary 2nd: the Time Traveller.
Ginuary 7th: White Cargo.
Ok, so I'm easing back into some home bar stuff this year (after the rampaging success of the new year's punch, that is) with something ridiculously simple. Look, it's from the Savoy Cocktail book so hush up, it had to be ticked off the list sooner or later. And yet. White Cargo 1/2 gin 1/2 … Continue reading Ginuary 7th: White Cargo.
Ginuary 21st: Detroit Athletic Club, Honey.
Here's one from Bottoms Up that I've butchered slightly to use up some of that Honey Jim Beam I've had in my cabinet for a while. How did that even get there? A moment of weakness? A gift? Bourbon sprites in the night? I danced around the original recipe for this for a couple of … Continue reading Ginuary 21st: Detroit Athletic Club, Honey.
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 21st: Gin & Tonic Tart.
Today is the first time I've run past midnight for posting my daily gin. No regrets. I was hanging out with some awesome friends, one of whom volunteered to participate in Ginuary by making something delicious. Apparently a couple of months ago, her mother handed her a recipe and said, "Your friends like gin, … Continue reading Ginuary 21st: Gin & Tonic Tart.
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.
