Today I had planned to write a shopping post. Tie in with the made up Black Friday craziness and maybe share some of the deals that around. But, frankly, the amount of emails I’ve had today with the title “Black Friday” is starting to make me feel a bit queasy and my rebellious nature has
Ah, I love Halloween. It’s only 10 days away now, so it’s time to start planning themed drinks, and themed food, and decorations, and buying devil horns for the Pugs to wear (obviously). You’d think I’d be sick of cocktails after Cocktail Week, but I can always squeeze in 1 (or 2) tiny ones just
I pretty much have Cocktails on the brain right now. From mid-August till mid-October every year I organise Norwich Cocktail Week and therefore Cocktails are very much at the forefront of my brain.

I think it’s time for a Cocktail, don’t you? Today I have a super simple recipe for a delicious twist on a sour. Normally made with whisky, this one is made with a delicious flavoured vodka, so it’s a lot sweeter, but no less boozy! Back in mid November I wrote a round-up of pretty much
Ho Ho HO! Yes, I have another Cocktail recipe for you today! This one isn’t of my own devising, but is instead a recipe sent to me by Opihr Spiced Gin. It’s called Winter in Marrakech. I can tell you that this one is disturbingly easy drinking for a cocktail with 3 shots of booze
