On a related note, the same recipe works pretty well with very ripe raspberries.
Wondering if it would work even better with a different spirit - perhaps a smokier Mezcal.

Unfortunately wet slippery stone steps brought about my literal downfall a few days ago. I now have new bits of metal in my ankle.
So I’m getting a different view of the city.
This was a brighter view from my window

Their (very) fresh Live For You DIPA is just the thing.

So, the Nick and Nori was perhaps a better pun than cocktail. But it was genuinely interesting.
I was hoping for the umami you get from nori in the cocktail itself. Which was savoury and good, but a bit lacking in depth.

We woke up this morning to this view from our bedroom.
It did however come with very snowy roads for our journey home from the Peak District. #exciting

Like the look from the outside a lot.
Beers not bad either.
