Ginuary 28th: Sloe Gin Fizz. @ Ginuary

http://ginuary.com/2015/01/ginuary-28th-sloe-gin-fizz.html

Ginuary 28th: Sloe Gin Fizz. Since acquiring some sloe gin earlier this month, all I’ve done is make a ridiculously delicious dessert. With it, so tonight I thought it time I address a classic, while also giving a quick educational spiel on sloe gin. Shrubs. They’re a relative of plums, but the berries are a lot smaller and in the same way that cumquats are the smaller, tarter cousin of mandarins, so are sloes to plums. That’s my analogy and I’m sticking to it. 60ml sloe gin (I used McHenry Old English.

Ginuary 31st: sloe on the rocks. And once again we’ve come to the end of the road! I marked the occasion today by heading to the end of another road, to drop into Nonesuch Distillery for my first visit. Funnily enough, despite having a big chat with Nonesuch’s head distiller Rex, I don’t think I really got an answer to that. Don’t you need to lead with gin to make sloe gin? Yes, of course… and can adding sloe and sugar hide a bad base product? No, not really. You have to start strong! I had another plan ...

Ginuary 19th: Sloe Roasted Plums. @ Ginuary

http://ginuary.com/2015/01/ginuary-19th-sloe-roasted-plums.html

Ginuary 19th: Sloe Roasted Plums. It’s a delight to finally have some sloe gin in the cupboard to play with, and thank gosh for having this recipe on hand while I’m still on my cold virus deathbed. I spotted some amazing-looking plums on my one voyage out of the house this weekend and thus today’s gin seemed fated. 12 plums, halved and stoned. Juice of 1 orange, plus a little extra. 60g golden/raw caster sugar. Preheat the oven to 200 C (fan, 180 gas). Serving suggestion: with shortbread and ice cream.

Ginuary 29th: Smoky Martini. @ Ginuary

Ginuary 29th: Smoky Martini. 75ml gin (I used Tanqueray No. Ten). 5-10ml (a splash) of scotch whisky. Add both ingredients to a mixing glass and stir with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist. Welcome to a very dry martini but with scotch instead of vermouth. I had other plans for today but got a bit sidetracked plus, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this one ever since Jenn did it. During Ginuary 2014. My brain gets stuck on certain things in weird ways.

Ginuary 27th: Army Barrel. WELP, this wasn’t supposed to happen. But it was delicious, and that’s always the end goal, so here’s to wonderful mistakes. 60ml barrel aged gin (I used Four Pillars). 40ml fresh lemon juice. Shake all ingredients over ice, then strain and serve in a cocktail glass with a dash of Angostura bitters floating on the top. Looks good, right? Sounds good too, yes?

Ginuary 30th: Alexander. @ Ginuary

http://ginuary.com/2015/01/ginuary-30th-alexander.html

Tonight I needed a comfort drink that would get me through the Parenthood finale. This one filled that quota exceptionally. Kinda cool, this one. You’ve heard of a Brandy Alexander, I’m sure. Even if you don’t know the drink and its contents, you’ve at least heard the phrase ( Feist’s song. And Ron Sexsmith’s song in response is just great). Here’s the thing… it’s an offshoot of the gin grandpappy beverage. Gin is the original. That’s a sentence I like. 45ml gin (I used Hendrick’s). 45ml creme de cacao.
