I almost missed
the blog anniversary this year, even though it's only the second one!
It was always in the back of my mind that I'd want to make a special
post for it in January. However, time then flew and before I knew it,
the 7th was here. The lack of time and preparation made me
choose a quick option to mark the occasion and I thought that a
celebratory drink could be a nice idea (more my style than a cake
any day).
The idea for this
Lemon and basil gin cocktail came when I was flicking through The Forest Feast again and saw the Lemon-Basil Mojito (p. 70-71). Since I had just purchased a new bottle of Kyrö Distillery Company's
good rye gin called Napue (my review here), I decided
to go more into the G&T direction today. So I just threw gin,
tonic water, lemon wedges, fresh basil and ice together without any
further measurements. It became a very refreshing drink – simple
and good!
Hereby I raise a
glass to you all, my lovely readers, and thank you for reading my
blog, commenting and being nice! Let's hope that there will be many more anniversaries as I'm
really enjoying the blogging.
Thank you!
