What's in your glass?

Homemade rhubarb and ginger gin. Bottled it today Poot and I don't know about yours, but ours is fucking amazing :D Just had to test it, and there was a whole glass each, oopsy :D Sooo good! Deffo doing this again!
That's a coincidence - I've just poured my first glass! :D It's delicious but I'm drinking it with too much tonic and ice. The next glass might be a bit stronger :hmm:

Bottoms up!
 
Ooo I had a go at the mango gin last night too Poot - think you might fancy this too. I was gonna bottle it, but it was actually much nicer with chunks of the gin-soaked mango in it! Christ, massively boozy mango :D:D What we don't eat along with the gin, I'm thinking of either pureeing it and having with ice cream, or a boozy fruit cocktail :thumbs:

I just used a packet of frozen mango for it btw, and not too much sugar. Fucking hell, one of the tastiest drinks I've ever had in my life!
 
Grapefruit & madnarin G & T with a good splosh of limoncello as an experiment. Nice, but it makes it look like a glass of wee. :hmm:

Suspect I'll be in bed by teatime...
 
Recently I've had honey rum, nice but too sweet for me. I've also had some locally made IPA the Cruzcampo is OK, and only 1€ a bottle, the Mahou is also good at about the same price.
 
Just polished off my first Weston's Vintage, in the hammock.

Might have a rum when I can get up.
 
While it is true that I live in a famous winemaking town and also have a good WSET qualification, it is too hot for decent red wine. We are on the cheapest rose in 2 litre plastic bottles at almost freezing point. Lovely.
 
Last night I made a couple of blue Hawaiians to use up some pineapple juice we’d been left with. Was amazed to see the colour separation just like the pic on the website recipe I was following. I really should’ve taken a photo but anyhow, I recommend it as an easy to make and spectacular looking cocktail.

Recipe was:

Blue Hawaiian
*add ingredients in order as written

Half Fill highball glass with ice
0.75 shot vodka
0.75 shot blue curaçao
0.333 shot coconut syrup
200ml pineapple juice
 
Utopian British Pilsener.

Apparently the brewer has been about a bit, including a spell in Munich with Paulaner, I think, before setting up camp in bandit country this side of Okehampton. A great German beer using British hops.
