On The Bar: Mclean’s Something Blue

Posted on September 5, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

If there was ever a gin with a love story; this is it. I was pointed towards @mcleansgin by the very lovely Claire and after a little bit of googles I found a story about a couple who started making gin in a cupboard under their stairs that had gone on to be nominated for…

Mental Health: Assumptions

Posted on September 3, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

I wasn’t sure what to do the first #Mental Health Monday’s post on. I planned to do it on a little bit of an introduction to my history with mental health, but when trying to write it that all became a little too scary (which is ironic given the focus of this is to help…

On The Bar: Micro Bar Box – Cocktail Box

Posted on August 31, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

The lovely people at Micro Bar Box asked if they could send me one of their cocktail boxes to try and review. Their concept is simple, you can order a box to send to a friend for whatever occasion and they’ll deliver a set that allows them to make a few drinks at home on…

On The Bar: Malfy Rosa Gin

Posted on August 5, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

We all know how I feel about a pink gin and this one is no different, it’s on the sweeter side of gin, both in the smell and the taste. The Malfy Rosa Gin is a pink grapefruit gin that also contains rhubarb, juniper, coriander, angelica root, orris root and of course lemon peel (as…

On The Bar: Bareksten Gin

Posted on July 28, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

This weeks #onthebar is a special one. It’s come from @jbeimports who import premium spirits to find the best on offer… I have to say it’s an exceptionally tough life when you have to try them 😛 but this @barekstengin found its way to me and I’ve enjoyed trying it. I’ve served it with raspberries,…

On The Bar – Distillers of Surrey

Posted on July 24, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

OK, I’ve been on a winning streak with the gins that I’ve been reviewing lately and I’m struggling a little because there hasn’t been one that I don’t like. This is made even more difficult by the fact that they’re all in beautiful bottles and whilst I put three extra shelves up in the bar…

On The Bar: Warner Edwards Elderflower

Posted on July 22, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

I mention Warner Edwards quite often when I talk about gin, in particular my love for their Victoria Rhubarb Gin (see my summer serves for the perfect one) but I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned that Warner Edwards was my first gin love. I saw a Tom Warner and his wife Tina Warner-Keogh on…

A Guide to Gin and Cocktails

Posted on July 20, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

I had fun with this one! One of the question I often get asked is by people who are new to gin wondering where to start or if I can recommend a gin cocktail for their weekend – so I thought I’d make a quick guide on where to start. Perfect serves and recipes can…

On The Bar: Hepple Gin

Posted on July 5, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

Last week I bought tickets to the Great Exhibition of the North Event at Fenwicks. They were running the Hepple Gin event (Moorland Spirit Company) and I wanted to attend for two reasons 1) The company I work for are heavily involved in the event and I am proud of my colleague(s) who worked hard…

On The Bar: Forest Gin

Posted on July 2, 2018January 5, 2019 by bethshehata

Tonight’s #onthebar is @forest_gin Earl Grey: At first, I wasn’t 100% sure how I felt about the flavour – I like tea, I like gin – it should be a no brainer right? Well, from pulling out the cork (seconds after it arrived) and smelling it any reservations I might have had were gone… This gin is made by…
