1 Ginuary

Last night my gorgeous friend Ray sent me a link to Ginuary which of course excited me very much. I misread the instructions last night, hardly surprising, thought it involved drinking a different gin every day, which seemed quite challenging. Turns out it’s much more freestyle, but I like the of gin a different way every day. Much more manageable. 

I am under prepared for day one, no gin in the house, but I do have Pimms, which is a type of gin, right? It is London Dry Gin mixed with fruit extracts, apparently the recipe is a closely guarded secret known to only six people. That’s what the bottle says.

It is much lighter than gin with spicy, fruity flavours and come in at just 25% alcohol. I’m drinking it with ginger ale and fresh lime. It is tasty and delicious, but doesn’t have the familiar kick of your usual gin.
