Been getting into Ginger wine recently. Really am getting a taste for it now. Love the Stone's one but the Crabbies just about edges it for me. A little too easy to drink though... Sore head today xD

Finally cracked open my bottle of Monkey47 gin. £40 for 500ml is pricey but really worth it.

Monkey 47 is certainly a step up in the gin stakes. Enjoy

yeah but it's about £10 at a pub so your saving money really.

Ignore, wrong thread!

It is Friday and a hard week.. and rather than open a red.. which would mean breaking open the box with Margaux, Ch.d.Pape, Pomerol, or St. Emillion....

Smooth as silk with no cutting acidic sharpness. Chablis.. yep.. very nice.

Going to be another 6 months at least before I get chance to re-stock!

Lidl seems to have decent IPAs ( a grapefruit and an orange), enjoying those with the BBQ weather!

Have some lime, rum and fresh mint to make a mojito later but is the sugar granulated or caster? Some recipes say one, some say the other!

2014 version of this St Emillion.

I've always used granulated, white or brown. Or made a mint syrup if you don't have the fresh ingredients.

Strongbow. Being classy tonight because the morrisons own brand was oos!

Jubel peach. Lovely. The elderflower one is great too but perhaps more of a refined taste.

I haven't had a drop of alcohol in 10 years, picked up a 4 pack of stella as I used to drink it and my god... it's foul.

I'm very much into berry flavour juice/squash, can anyone recommend a cider like this?

Aldi do their own nice fruit flavoured ciders. Although Kopperburg is the usual choice for people who like fruit cider.
