News

Welcome

Hello and Welcome to Episode 37
By far the biggest bit of news this week is still the news that Paul has left his job of 17 years.
I am still so over the moon for him. I am also suitably impressed at their new website. It is really slick and really improves the navigation. If you have a moment why not go on and have a look.
Sip and Share have grown past 200 members. So proud of you Kate.
I will be going live on YouTube this time not this Friday but next Friday 19th February at 20:00. I am going to be talking with Tristan from Massingberd-Mundy all about Marie Jeanne.
He is my instagram should this week.

Weekly Gin Recommendatio Dulwich gin

I have always been a big fan of dill. Even when I had to chop a lot of it to add to Gravalax when I worked in Munich.
Nose - vague smell of dill. Not the normal in your face
Flavour profile dry slight delay then a slight acidic tone follow by a smoothness full of dill, which almost dances on your tongue and then finally you get a bit of heat from the alcohol
I quite like it as a sipping gin. Could really see it working with a gravalax.
With tonic, usual Mediterranean get dryness and a much clearer dill taste.
Absolutely desperate to try this as a dirty martini. Also keen to finally try some bourbon as I think it might go very well with this. Such a fun flavour. Will keep you posted on other cocktails
It has a proud place on my gin shelf. Thank you to The Botanical Trading Company.

The sophistication of the Daiquiri

Daiquiri = Sophistication, Suarve & Panache
Ernest Hemingway allegedly had 15 in a night. I struggle to do 4 cocktails if I am lucky before I got to sleep !!

Where did it come from ?

Jennings Stockton Cox from the iron mines of Daiquiri in Cuba. Came up because ran out of gin ! That was very careless that would not happen to you or me.
John F Kennedy sipped Daiquiris after beating Nixon in 1960’s
Traditional recipe with rum I am always keen to find a good gin. This week I tried it with Rhamanta and it was really nice.
Basic recipe 2 parts alcohol, 1 part citrus and 1/2 part sugar
Sometime I use sugar syrup but I have just recently invested into the wide plethora of Monin syrups so I tend to use. I have got flavours from Strawberry to honey to hibiscus
This basic recipe kind of works really for any spirit but I think it work for gin really well. These days I am a bit of a lime fan so I would probably try and mix it to that but you could easily go down the orange or the lemon route and find a suitably well chosen gin.
