It’s mid-June and that can only mean two things.
One: it’s my birthday. And two: it’s time to officially start gin-and-tonics-in-the-garden season!
You are either a G&T person (hi mom!) or you are not… but if you are, I heartily recommend trying the bespoke gin, hand-crafted by Victoria Spirits, in Victoria BC.
In a word, it is sublime.
To make a classic G&T, add to a glass of ice: an ounce (or so) of gin, a generous splash of tonic and a dash of bitters… plus lemon of course!
If you want the taste of the gin to really shine, use soda (that’s me, the purist!) instead of tonic.
Now just sit, sip and smell the roses.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Christina! It’s my birthday too (well, tomorrow). And I love gin. Must be a gemini thing.
