Great choices Karen !

I used to love Champagne rosé but that makes me sick now so no way I would drink some, I chose the raspberry mojito instead

I wanted to tick all the drinks available.
However, Pomegranate and sage cosmopolitan will do for starters.

Edit:
@Manderley, champagne does the same to me now also.

I don't drink alcohol (long story short - super taster for particular compound which makes most alcohol unbearably bitter) but I like the sound of all the accompaniments to the gin to the point where I'm trying to work out what I can buy/make to try out something similar. What sort of gin tho'? Hendricks or something less floral? Just wondering if this would be good for DH?

ETA: nice looking anise tonic recipe

@ssure. You need a fruity and floral one like Nolets or Hendricks. It's funny that the link you found is where I had that cocktail! I agree with you, it could be a nice AF drink if you nixt the gin. Don't forget to add a sprig of fennel for garnish.

Champagne for me too - in the absence of a proper margarita - or a Bloody Mary!

We had a couple of bottles of English bubbly for OH's big birthday last year, and despite what you may think, they were very fine. One, from memory was from a Bolney vineyard (home of the current controversy over fracking), and the other from Nyetimber, both in the south. With the changing weather they are producing better and better sparkling wines
