It’s World Gin Day at the weekend. I’d never heard of it before, but apparently it’s been going for 7 years.

It’s my favourite spirit; I have it with lots of ice, tonic, squeeze of lime and perhaps a dash of elderflower cordial – a perfect summer’s day tipple!

There is an increasing number of gins on the market from which to choose. I like Tanqueray and Bombay Sapphire but there are rose and violet-scented ones (don’t fancy those myself!), saffron, chamomile-infused… There’s even a market for vintage where bottles from the 1950s are fetching over £300!

Gin, gin!
