Okay, so Mothers day was a couple o’weeks back, and my tribe bought me some rhubarb and ginger gin…
Now, I feel I should say, upfront, that gin is my summer tipple of choice.
(Not winter, gin is far to cold and fizzy for that – winter is a time for red. A good, heavy red.)
Anyway, I got off topic; back to the gin. Now then, is it just me, or does there seem to be something of a gin-revolution sweeping the nation?
Which is fine with me, except there are so many varieties circulating that I find one, I like it, and then I can never find it again! It’s a real trial I tell you.
So I’ve developed a course of action – I’m going to make me’ own.
Yup, I tried it last year about this time, with parma violets.
Yes, you read right 😀 thank the heavens for amazon. I ordered a box of giant parma violets, pulled a large mason jar from the pantry, used regular old gin, gave it a shake every so often, and Boom! Summer deliciousness not to be forgotten.
This time, it’s rhubarb or bust. I’ll let you know how it goes.
