Rhubarb, Rosehip and Lime Fizz

April 17, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 20 Comments

I’m not sure if you’ve ever been in the designated driver situation where you end up at a soiree and the host assumes that the only guests not drinking alcohol are children? As much as I like Um Bongo it’s always a little embarrassing to reach the end of the carton and make that loud, conspicuous slurping noise while in the middle of a conversation. Down with this I say and hooray for the now bursting market that is adult soft drinks and cordials. I’m not sure why but all the ready-made ‘adult’ soft drinks available used to be either apple orientated or have grape juice in. I am really not a fan of grape juice; maybe because it tastes artificial to me and not at all like grapes. Not to worry though as this Rhubarb, Rosehip and Lime Fizz is a corker of a soft drink.  read more

Sloe Gin and Tonic with Elderflower and Apple

April 10, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 16 Comments

sloe gin and elderflower
Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while will know about my penchant for sloe gin. I’m not sure what it is about infusing your own alcohol that I like so much. Perhaps it’s the romantic idea of foraging for food, connecting with the land and being able to puff out your chest in pride when you’ve picked a kilo of berries. It could be to do with the fact that I like gin. Either way, my second post about drinks looks at mixing up sloe gin with some classic British flavours.

Ingredients

You will need (per glass):

  • 50ml sloe gin (to make your own see recipe here)
  • 1/2 cap full Mr Fitzpatricks Elderflower and Bramley Apple Cordial
  • Tonic
  • Juice 1 lime
  • Caster sugar

Method

I was going the whole hog with this one, sugar crusting on the edge and everything. It’s easier to make the cocktail in another receptacle and then pour it into the sugar encrusted glass; much less risk of dribbling and dissolving. Start by squeezing the lime juice onto a small plate and putting a thin layer of caster sugar on another plate. Dip the rim of each glass into the lime juice and then into the sugar so you form a rather pretty (sweet and sour) edge to the glass. Mix together the sloe gin, cordial and tonic in a jug and then pour into the prepared glasses. read more
