Very pleased with my recent gift of @MuffLiquorCo potato-based gin Strong orange aroma upon opening. The spud base is notably softer than the 'usual' dry gins The overall taste is a delightful citrus. I'm definitely into the Muff

Time to try my Bride's Xmas gift @tanquerayusa #Royale Stunning colour with @SchweppesGB #Tonic makes this a totally different #G&T experience The taste? Well, guess for yourselves, although I couldn't honestly distinguish them as "French" #blackcurrants Not to my taste but...

Both myself @GarryTD and @RowanStephenson are good friends with a Russian lady who has lived happily in the UK for many years. How sad it is that she currently feels demonised and ashamed of her heritage thanks to the maniac that is #VladimirPutin

#WilliamGrant have distilled this very refreshing Lemon #Verano - Summer. Released with stable mates Passion Fruit and Watermelon. Infused with Spanish Lemons. Not too tart, making it an easy garden tipple with @SchweppesGB Tonic Available @thebottleclubuk

May I recommend @thecooktwit to my followers to add to their 'list' Good, down-to-earth reviews. Some fine-dining but also the food of the common man, always with humour and never taking himself too seriously

Say what you like about @AldiUK they certainly hit the spot in most areas, incl. their alcohol offering. This Pink Grapefruit & Orange Gin does exactly what you'd expect. Bitter sweet notes and at under £14 for a 40% session gin, what's not to like!

Courtesy of @thecooktwit I'm sampling the unique #BisonGrass #gin from @3wrensgin distilled at Cholmondley, with the distinctive herb grown on site. A truly original mix of grassiness and citrus notes makes for a subtle, yet refreshing hit on the palate 👏👏👏
