Mikkeller gin & tonic with strawberries and blood orange

We just had quite heavy thunderstorms here, so I thought it would be nice to think about more sunshiny things. Actually not really, as I really like thunderstorms and this time I even managed to stay semi-dry, so can't complain. Anyway when it was warmer and sunnier a while ago I made these gin & tonic drinks with local fresh strawberries and blood orange that had kept in fine condition in the fridge. Now I've definitely run out of blood oranges. I used Mikkeller gin that is a special thing to have and I buy a bottle maybe couple of times a year. I really like it, it's really brilliant quality with nice artwork. It makes me miss Copenhagen again!

So here's the drink and the ingredients for one glass were about the following:

4 cl Mikkeller gin

200 ml tonic

2 strawberries sliced

½ blood orange sliced

Have further a good week, almost weekend now!

Redcurrant gin & tonic

I'm very sorry that this will only be a quick post that I wanted to share from yesterday. Today was a tiring day and that's why I'll have to keep it short.

So yesterday I enjoyed a lovely summer drink, a redcurrant gin & tonic made with the really tasty Mikkeller Botanical Gin. This is a very special small batch gin made with Simcoe hops. I tasted it in Denmark for the first time, and now I ordered some more. I am delighted to have this gin to boost my summer drinks.

Have a good week everyone!
