Look at this beautiful Tobermory matchbox! Part of a homesickness care package. Thank you so much @ninatansstudio
I finally got round to revamping my website during my recent time off. I hope you like it!
Lapsang Souchong has been called 'the whisky of teas' and I like both of those things, so I infused some lapsang Souchong in some gin and made a martini out of it. On this very beautiful summer's day, it has been a treat.
Here's a quick 'n' dirty tip to chill a bottle more quickly. Dampen two sheets of kitchen paper, roll up the bottle and place it in the freezer. Someone with a better grasp of physics can probably explain the "how" but I can explain the "why" - no-one likes a warm gin!
The Hebrides are on their Studio Ghibli game again. The visibility is so good today you can see loads of the Outer Isles.
A lemon drop martini for a special lady.
More Gibson appreciation.
A Filthy Martini...
Friday plans on the Isle of Mull: iconic drink, iconic view and iconic martini music from Les Baxter.

Friday plans on the Isle of Mull: iconic drink, iconic view and iconic martini music from Les Baxter. The iconic Gibson martini, here sitting alongside two Queens from a replica Lewis Chessmen set. Aaaaaaaaaaaand relax. Timelapse showing the importance of keeping your glass and gin/vodka in the freezer. Your drink stays beautifully cold for much longer, without the need for any ice (or watering the #martini down). Keeping things chilly in Tobermory. Oh Lord, if you think I should drink a martini this Sabbath, please give me a sign. Holiday needed. How's my favourite city doing?
