Martinis ad infinitum

So many martinis…    Here’s one at home with a sprig of lavender.    In the garden during a hot summer sunset.   Dawn breaks over London. Yes, this happened at dawn. Whoops.    A more strategic martini, here with the Lewis Chessmen in the background.    Martinis, wine, olives and walnuts on a tree stump in the garden on a summer’s evening.   A … Continue reading Martinis ad infinitum

Martinis, cocktails, mocktails, good food, great music and most importantly of all - fantastic staff. My review of @lulus.bean in Dubai is on the blog.
I make no apology for the name. My aunty Bethan Jane came up with the concept so there was only one possible way to credit her. I'll put the recipe up on the blog shortly.
Vesper martinis and seafood for a little celebration...
Some recent m a r t i n i s
Parched in the desert, I set out on a quest to quench my thirst with a Friday martini.
Good attention to icing the glass in the @bocadubai foragers martini made with local botanicals and @thebotanistgin on this beautiful evening in the United Arab Emirates.
I've added a new review to my blog - the Western Isles Hotel in Tobermory. Beautiful martinis with an amazing view!
I've managed to upload my martini 'how to' guide to my blog in Arabic. Apologies for any typos!
For Burns Night, I recommend a Paisley Martini. It's a classic martini with a twist of lemon and a touch of whisky to taste (usually about half a teaspoon). I like it peaty and yes, it goes extremely well with Haggis.
Combining Scandi-Jan with Blue Monday = BLUE NORDIC SOCKS.
It's Pikkulauantai!
I love my lobster mug from @ninatansstudio
Today we had a maritime martini (a dirty martini with EXTRA brine and plenty of olives) with a side serving of Russel Crowe in the epic naval film Master and Commander. Hard a larbourd!
Merry Christmas from the Martini war room. Charge! (your glasses)
Pre-Christmas Izakaya night with family (and dogs). Photos courtesy of @ninatans.
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!
