leicestershire country garden.

A ode to the English country garden in this third and final gin cocktail recipe with Burleigh's. Muddled with apple juice, tonic, fresh rosemary and a slice of apple, I present the Leicestershire Country Garden. This is because, in case you didn't already know, Burleigh's are a Leicestershire based distillery who create gin in the traditional way using a bespoke copper pot. This particular variety, the Distiller's Cut, is described as an exceptionally crisp and fresh gin with a sweet and citrus like palate and floral finish. This made it perfect for pairing with tart apple and aromatic rosemary in this gin lovers cocktail.

What's more, I've teamed up with Burleigh's to give you 20% their online shop with the code EMILY20. Just in time for World Gin Day! Enjoy...

let it be vegan, berlin.

Found near the trendy Neukölln district of Berlin, Let It Be is a wholly vegan restaurant serving up burgers, dairy free cakes, cocktails and crepes. Known for their impressively stacked (but entirely meat free) burgers, we went along during our stay for my vegan friend's birthday meal. If you're looking for a vegan or vegetarian burger in Berlin, this is the place for you.

parma violets cocktail.

A retro inspired cocktail featuring your favourite floral sweet. I've teamed up with Leicestershire based Burleigh's gin to bring you some exciting cocktail recipes on the lead up to World Gin Day 2016. Could there be a finer day? This recipe mixes their Signature London Dry Gin with violet liqueur with a twist of lemon before being topped with lemonade. This variety of their impressive gins is said to be crisp, fresh and vibrant with floral notes and a Parma Violet and lavender finish. A match made in heaven, I say.
