That's not a bad idea, and who doesn't like getting gin delivered. Had two bottles of Lemon Top gin delivered today - it's an alarming lurid yellow so don't know what it will taste like.

Please report back on this. I feel like it will taste like my childhood.

It was a bit weird - not sure I like it. I only had a small glass though, so might try again. At least gin keep indefinitely.

I think it is specially made for Aldi. Henry Westons bottles have Henry Westons Vintage on them & not H.Weston & Sons. If it tastes good though & is good value then who gives one.

Mine had a cork for a change.

Over the past week, I've been noticing oversized corks (capless) lying around in the park - any idea what they might be from ?

I probably paid less than a fiver for this in Aldi 8 or 9 years ago ...
It is now very smooth indeed - serious well-rounded red fruit.

That's a good policy - I used to "keep" wine in the under stairs cupboard, and also found that an "ordinary" bottle of supermarket wine was really very good 4 or 5 years later.
Nothing lasts that long in this house now.

decent wine is hard to come by around here so I always used to buy more than I drank ...

I was looking forward to a booze-free week until some muppet posted a pic of one of my favourite cocktails, the Aviation.
Worse still, I'm out of creme de violette. The bight side is though that, owing to a fat-fingered internet shopping experience some years back I still have two bottles of chartreuse left so I'm about to embark on making myself a Last Word. Much like the Aviation, I regard it as an underappreciated gem.

Who are you calling a muppet
Don't think I don't remember you I am very fond of chartreuse (green) and strega when not hitting the violets.

I'm afraid the M-word had to be invoked for reminding me of a gap in my stash, and this'll mean I probably need to schlep to Gerry's Liquors tomorrow to see if they have any.
Strega I've never had in a cocktail ( I struggle to think of how I'd crowbar it in to one) - only ever as a digestif and (rather excellently) as an ice cream.

Most curious - I've never seen a corpse reviver made with strega before; I'm quite partial to the number 2 myself.
