It should be common knowledge by now that I love a bargain. I’m a self-confessed yellow sticker hunter when it comes to supermarket shopping, though I’m not one of the people who puts their trolley in front of the whole fridge to block everyone else, or waits while the staff member stickers things up, but […]
One of the few benefits of being stuck at home during this weird pseudo-lockdown period in the UK is suddenly having more time than ever before. Yes, I’ve been working throughout the pandemic – having been very lucky to have a decent work from home setup, as well as working on a project that can […]
I recently finished Call of Cthulhu by Cyanide, a Lovecraftian survival horror game with a heavy focus on a creepy, twisting narrative. Spoilers; I loved it! Read the full Geek and Tonic review today.
Oh man, I have so many questions. Who exactly is out there milking tigers, and why do they think (or, even creepier, know) this drink should be named after it? Do they still have all of their limbs? I can’t imagine they do; we’ve all seen Tiger King by now, but not even Joe Exotic […]
There are some drinks that you know, just by looking at them, are going to be good and hoo boy, is the Desert Healer one of them. The flavours of gin and cherry brandy together might sound dated, or perhaps boring, but when you add them to orange juice and ginger beer it somehow creates […]
This cocktail is an adaptation of the classic, and highly popular, Gin Fizz which is made with gin (obviously), lemon juice, sugar and soda water. When a ‘Royal’ version of a cocktail is typically made, it means that an egg has been added to the recipe, and whilst there is a Royal Gin Fizz which follows […]
Like the famous city, it’s a cocktail so nice they named it twice! Well, not really but the Bella Bella is a quintessential summer drink that, given that we’re not very far into spring, is worth trying now to see if you want it in your wheelhouse for the coming months. The primary flavour profile of […]
There have been countless versions of Hell in modern media. Sure, there’s a lot of common themes – torture, evil incarnate, cloven hooves etc – but I’m not sure there’s ever been a portrayal quite like Afterparty‘s. You play as childhood friends Milo and Lola who have found themselves among the recently deceased and wind up […]
Okay so gin, passion fruit liqueur and limoncello walk into a bar… I mean, that should be the start of a delicious joke and/or cocktail right? That’s what any sane person would think. Well unfortunately, we’d all be wrong. Yes, the ingredients together should, in principle, make a fine mixture worthy of gracing any cocktail […]
Planter’s Punch is an International Bartender Association (IBA) official cocktail, along with a litany of other famous drinks, where they’ve been split into 3 categories: classics, modern classics, and proclaimed ‘New Era’ recipes. The recipe we’ve followed is slightly different to the IBA one for Planter’s Punch as we’ve replaced the dash of angostura bitters […]
