PS Simon you mention ginger beer and some of us will remember parents carefully tending ginger beer plants and splitting them for friends …….like sourdough.(?)
Try Bundaberg my fav ginger beer, vodka and Limoncello, makes a great Moscow (f**k**s) Mule - MM my signature cocktail.at my daughters summer festival wedding
Mike, I favour Bundaberg and, if I can't get that, Fentimans in second place. Will try your suggestion!
My go to is a spiced rum (there are so many excellent ones), with Bundaberg and a good squeeze of lime (2 parts rum to 5 parts ginger beer).
Clemens, Monkey 47 is excellent. Have you tried any of James May's Gins? I have to say his Asian Parsnip gin is excellent and for winter, California Dreamgin. Despite the name and reference to California, the girolle mushroom undertone tastes a little like a hint of pine to me, hence feeling more wintery.
