Continue readingWhat a month! Without a doubt the highlight was visiting the Hendrick’s Gin Palace so prepare for lots and lots and lots of pics before you read on!
Continue readingWhat a month. International Scottish Gin Day, Negroni Week, London Cocktail Week, International Gin and Tonic Day, even a(nother) change of Prime Minister – it’s all been going on and that’s hardly even half of it!
Continue readingFor a month in which so much seemed to stop, an awful lot still happened. Here’s my September Gin Monthly 2022 (and an opportunity for you to get your hands on some free gin – yes really!)…
