Gin!

[moa999]

Ink gin is quite decent. Think it was the first of the colour change gins, been copied a few times.

Aldi special Hot Cross Buns liquor now in my local. Picked it up. It's sickly sweet on its own (might be ok over ice cream) with a heavy cinnamon taste. Mixed in with tonic at sou ke the usual strength (it's only 20%) it's a decent drink.

Certainly not a classic gin, but it definitely has echoes of Easter flavours, and certainly better than many of the berry gins around.

Since my post # 139 I make sure there is always a bottle of Husk ink gin at home.

It is my no 1 choice.

We had a tour and luncheon planned earlier this month with fellow AFFers but had to cancel

Super bummed.

Drinking it tonight to console myself.

This was a nice drop. Lasted all of 3 days.

Thought members might find this interesting and of course it’s in super trendy inner north Melbourne !

Now I have bottles of both Brunswick Aces alcoholic and non alcoholic gin and they are both excellent (labels beautiful too in my bar) and it’s great for those nights where you have a designated Dave or someone who doesn’t drink around!

Brunswick Aces to open non-alcoholic bar in Melbourne

The Melbourne booze-free distillers are set to open a permanent venue with a sober Negroni, Espresso Martini and Tom Collins on the menu. Just don’t call them mocktails.

Boozeless in Brunswick: New venue raises the bar for non-alcoholic drinks

A new bar will open its doors in Brunswick East in April, specialising in serving craft beer, local wine and fancy coughtails – minus the hooch.

This is a new one for me. Very smooth but I still prefer the Ink gin

I’ll try it with soda water tonight. Good point about the calories.

Capi low sugar tonic is great if you are looking to cut some sugar out and it’s locally family owned and made in Australia as well... better than internationally made and imported Fever tree being shipped around the world burning carbon

Low Sugar Tonic - Sweet Enough

Low Sugar Tonic clocks in at 2.5g of sugar per 100ml and has no artificial anything, making a G&T in less than 75 calories - half that of a classic G&T.

For me it wasn't just about the calories.. also taste the actual gin more

 

[ALH]

There are just so many to try and I'm doing my best.
