Bringing Joy to January: 9-5 The Musical at the New Theatre

Gin is adored and devoured by the nation. This January why not make it Ginuary and enjoy discovering different gins and their complex identities while experimenting with creative ways to try them.

If you are looking for a local gin then why not try Cotswolds Dry Gin. A delightful blend of nine carefully considered botanicals, including local lavender from the Cotswolds and freshly peeled pink grapefruit and lime zest.

Due to the unusually high volume of botanicals used, this gin causes a pearlescent cloud to appear when ice or tonic is added, creating the beautiful and unique Cotswolds Cloudy G&T.

Recipe:

50ml Cotswolds Dry Gin
15ml fresh Lime Juice
12.5ml Raspberry Syrup
1 Egg White (optional)
5 Fresh Raspberries
2 Mint Leaves

Method:

Muddle raspberries and mint.
Shake all ingredients over ice and strain back into shaker.
Dry shake and fine strain into a chilled Martini glass.
Garnish with raspberry and mint.

RRP: from £34.95 | 70cl | 46% ABV

Eat Local: The Store, Oxford

Since The Store opened on the former site of Boswells it has become my go-to place to meet friends. Squishy velvet sofas, friendly staff, delicious coffee and a relaxed yet luxurious vibe (reluxed?). There’s also the possibility of spotting an A-lister amongst the mix of glamorous guests and locals hanging out in the lounge or slipping through to retreat down to the spa. I’ve also cocktailed on the roof (those views!) and dined at Treadwell, the hotel’s modern British restaurant, so I didn’t need asking twice if I would like to go along to review the new Spring menu.
