RECIPE | GIN-GIN MULE

This drink will requench your thirsts for days like these when the British sun decides to show its face!

And there's also just the simple fact that drinking/eating pretty much anything (other than jam, obvs) from a jam jar is just INSTANT ADDED COOL.

To make a GIN-GIN MULE you will need:

3oz Gin (AKA double measure)

A drench of lime juice

Lots of crushed ice

As much ginger beer as you like...

* Also lovely with some fresh mint leaves but alas our mint plant has died. R.I.P.

REVIEW | JEREMIAH WEED ROOT BREW

Jeremiah Weed are newcomers to the UK brew scene. Currently available are two different brews: Root Brew (brewed with a hint of ginger) and the Sour Mash Brew (brewed with a hint of bourbon).

I saw a review of their brews online and was desperate to get my hands on a bottle. Luckily enough, the local Waitrose was stocking the stuff and we snapped up a bottle of the Root Brew.

Served chilled over ice (how sophisticated) this was a DELICIOUS drink.

I am a BIG fan of the various ginger and root beers available at the moment but this one really tops them all.

It is much less acidic/sweet/artificial tasting than Crabbies Ginger Beer (my previous favourite), with a nice refreshing and natural tang.

 WARNING: This stuff is a little TOO drinkable.
