Spirits Reviews
Spirits: An enticing category of distilled beverages encompassing an array of flavours and traditions, ranging from smooth and refined to bold and captivating, each with its own distinct character and story.
Gin, rum, tequilla, vodka. The list, happily, is long.
Libations: An encompassing term for a wide variety of beverages, often used to celebrate and bring people together in moments of enjoyment and relaxation.
Mead, saké, soju. You don't have to distill alcohol to make it special.
If it's been fermented at some stage - and it doesn't fit anywhere else - this is where to find it.
Mezan Rum Twitter Tasting
It's been a long time since I got involved in a Twitter Tasting, but when we saw the announcement for an evening of rum neither Kavey nor I could resist.

Introducing Gin
I've been intending to expand this blog to include gin for some time now, and it only seems appropriate to use today's World Gin Day as the perfect prompt to launch this new effort. The gin market has never been so full of new and exciting makers, so it's high time to track ...Espresso Martinis at The Forge & Foundry
I'm not normally a huge fan of cocktails; I'd rather have a simple beer or wine than some of the more 'imaginative' drinks that some bars come up with (beer cocktails, particularly, bemuse me beyond belief). However, when the folks at The Forge & Foundry down in Camden invited Pete Drinks to visit they ...
Double Irish Coffee
Irish Coffee has to be the perfect drink for a blog dedicated to beer, coffee and whisky; a sweet, whiskey-augmented coffee with cream floating on it that looks more than a little like a beer! To celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, I've decided to push the Irishness up to 11, by making this Double Irish ...
The King's Ginger
As I may have mentioned once or twice, I love ginger. I could happily have lived on Old Jamaica Ginger Beer as a child (if only my parents had let me!). And I confess that as a student I once stood in Tesco and worked out that Ginger Wine was the cheapest way ...
