• The Gower Gin Company have decided that after doing Veganuary and Dry January in previous years that this year they are going to do some walking. They are going be taking photos of their 6 pack of all their gins in various places on their travels. Worth thinking about investing in. Was £30 now £22.95. Bargain. I have just received the one I ordered. Can’t wait to try them in cocktails. So excited to try Rhosili Dragon Strength

• I have also come up with some other cocktails which will be showcased this Tuesday coming and Thursday.
