In an uncharacteristic moment of foresight, I shot this cocktail months ago and now I’m staring at it longingly, wishing it to return. This gin cocktail is a simple take on a Bees Knees. It’s sharp, sweet and contains honey, lemon, ginger and gin.
THE SUN IS OUT! Time to drink pretty cocktails in the garden and ignore the groaning pile of laundry that’s taking over the bedroom.
Sometimes the prettiest cocktails end up being sickly sweet, but this one is nice and sharp and peppery.
I’m normally not very patriotic, nor particularly bothered about being proud of my Italian roots. But I confess that each March 8th I am a little.
While Italians are not particularly renowned for respecting women, they are very famous for loving them.
It’s bloody freezing today. Like, lip-shiveringly, toe-numbingly freezing. In times like this you have to ask yourself, what would a pirate do? (Obvs). The answer is hot rum. And to add a dash of tropical optimism, chuck in some limes.

Here’s a great, simple cocktail that feels very festive and wintery but still feels a bit special.
