Now that we're half way through January, otherwise known as the LONGEST and most TEDIOUS month in the whole calendar, I think it's safe to say that we could all do with a treat. And nothing says "thank goodness it's almost spring" like the sharp taste of tonic water splashed with gin and citrus. I had a whole load of puns based around the concept of "gin and bear it" ready, but I'll spare you. Instead I'm going to tell you about a fantastic subscription box which will help us all make it through to February in one, slightly tipsy piece!
I Love Gin is the best idea for anyone who, well, loves gin. For just £14 a month, you'll get two different miniatures and two tonic waters sent to your door complete with discounts to use at a later date. The December box contained Sadler's Peaky Blinder Spiced Dry Gin and Aber Falls Marmalade Gin which was perfectly complimented with some Regency Tonic Water.
One of the things I most liked about the box was that it gave you wonderful ideas on how to serve the drinks. Normally my go to G&T is gin and tonic, and if I'm feeling super fancy, some ice and a slice of lemon. I'd never in a million years think to add a cinnamon stick as suggested for the Aber Falls gin, or even the slice of orange for the Peaky Blinder. It made me want to be more creative with how I serve and enjoy them, and that is a huge part of why I am looking forward to the next box arriving.
Until next time,
