Pine Needle Tea
This is an ancient herbal drink from the most northerly parts of the planet. It’s refreshing and healthy and there’s something wholesome and satisfying about pulling it all together. This post isn’t martini-related at all, but if you’re going to enjoy the odd silver bullet, it’s worth trying to be healthy at other times. The Dark Times The winter months can be harsh and ancient … Continue reading Pine Needle Tea

Hebridean Blue Cheese

Much of this produce goes exceedingly … Continue reading Hebridean Blue Cheese

Lapsang Souchong is my … Continue reading The Fujian Martini – made with Lapsang Souchong

But what you would expect if you take the rarest, most expensive spice and infuse it into the most elegant of drinks? Note that you can also buy very high quality saffron gin ready made here. I cannot claim credit for the original recipe. … Continue reading The Saffron Martini
The Fiery Ginger Martini
Serving a cocktail in a martini glass and adding a -tini suffix to the end of its name does not make it a martini. A real martini should contain a small amount of vermouth and a large amount of gin or vodka. If you start messing around with this too much you no longer have the genuine article. Acceptable variations include the dirty … Continue reading The Fiery Ginger Martini
