#GinADayMay Day 25 #Old A classic cocktail traditionally made with whisky, today’s Old Fashioned features “probably the best aged gin in the world” (according to the chaps at @ginfoundryuk). Hart & Dart is the second permanent gin from @capreolusdistil, created by taking their exquisite Garden Swift Gin and ageing it in a single mulberry wood barrel. Fruity and soft yet complex and characterful, Hart & Dart makes an extraordinary Old Fashioned. Who needs whisky eh?! . #oldfashioned #oldfashionedcocktail #ginstagram #drinkstagram #cocktailgram #gin #gincocktails #mixology #ginsofinstagram #cocktailsofinstagram #cocktailtime #gintime #hartanddartgin #hartanddart #barrelagedgin #capreolusdistillery #ginadingding #ginadaymay2020 #barrelaged #mulberry #craftcocktails #ginoldfashioned #agedgin #cocktailoftheday

#GinADayMay Day 23 #Red If you like a Negroni you need to try Killer in Red. Made with equal parts gin, @campariofficial and white vermouth, with a touch less Grand Marnier, it’s lighter and more elegant than the Negroni but equally delicious! I made (one of!) mine with @batchdistillery’s brand new bright red gin Don’t Bottle It Up. A fruity and floral gin made with an intriguing list of botanicals, it struck me as good match for the cocktail which is supposed to be garnished with a drop of rose essential oil. Created to raise awareness and help break the stigma around mental health, some of the proceeds from Don’t Bottle It Up will be donated to @lancashire.women, who allow both women and men to access mental health services for free. Living in these strange times, and during #mentalhealthawarenessweek, the Don’t Bottle It Up message couldn’t be more important. Look after yourselves and stay connected. #mentalhealthawareness #dontbottleitup #stayconnected #itsoknottobeok #batchinnovations #batchdistillery #ginadingding #ginadaymay2020 #killerinred #campari #cocktails #gincocktails #ginstagram #drinkstagram #cocktailgram #ginsofinstagram #cocktailsofinstagram #mixology #gin #cocktailoftheday #cocktailtime #ginoclock #lockdownfun #lockdownchallenge #newginalert

#GinADayMay Day 22 #Garnish Garnishes may seem frivolous to some, but - done well - they are the finishing touch to the perfect cocktail. There aren’t many rules when it comes to garnishes but I can think of two. Firstly, a garnish should add flavor or character to a drink. And, secondly, it should be obvious whether or not the garnish is intended for consumption! On one of my daily exercise excursions recently I spotted a beautiful nasturtium plant in full flower and decided that would be my garnish for today. Furthermore, knowing nasturtiums are edible, I decided to incorporate the plant into the cocktail too. So here you have a beautiful, peppery Nasturtium Gimlet - made by muddling nasturtium leaves with sugar syrup, lime juice and @hollysgin - finished with a stunning nasturtium flower garnish. I’m sure you’ll agree it looks good enough to eat! #hollysgin #cornishgin #nasturtiums #nasturtiumcocktail #gimlet #gincocktail #gin #cocktails #mixology #ginstagram #drinkstagram #cocktailgram #gintime #cocktailtime #ginadaymay2020 #ginadingding #flowers #edibleflowers #flowerpower #lockdownfun #lockdownchallenge #spring #springtime #goodenoughtoeat #picoftheday #ginoftheday #ginsofinstagram #cocktailoftheday

#GinADayMay Day 21 #Innovation Today I applaud all the distilleries worldwide who have switched production from spirits to hand sanitiser to protect front line workers, and their local community, from Covid-19. In the true spirit of innovation, many of these distilleries even undertook this endeavour before the full legal and financial ramifications were clear. Like many, @conkerspirit have generously donated large quantities of their hand sanitiser to the most vulnerable in their local area. My bottle, which escaped Dorset, has now been re-gifted to the deserving staff of a London school near me. #conkerspirit #communityspirit #thatsthespirit #handsanitiser #dorsetgin #conkergin #conkerlab #coronavirus #covid19 #lockdown #lockdownfun #lockdownchallenge #ginadingding #ginadaymay2020 #inittogether #strongertogether #distillery #gin #ginstagram #drinkstagram #ginoftheday #picoftheday

#GinADayMay Day 20 #London Today I give you a London Calling made with a classic London Dry Gin made in London at the @cityoflondondistillery! A collaboration with the then-Master-Distiller of Tanqueray, Tom Nichol, Christopher Wren Gin celebrates the buildings that make up the iconic skyline of London’s city centre. The stunning bottle references Wren’s most famous masterpiece - St Paul’s Cathedral - and, better yet, my bottle is also signed by that other great craftsman; Tom Nicol! #cityoflondon #cityoflondondistillery #christopherwren #londondistillery #londongin #londondrygin #londondry #londoncalling #gin #gincocktail #mixology #ginstagram #instagin #drinkstagram #cocktailgram #cocktails #gintime #cocktailtime #ginsofinstagram #cocktailsofinstagram #ginadingding #ginadaymay2020 #londonlife #ginlover #stpaulscathedral #COLD #tomnicol #cocktailoftheday
