This is a delicious earthy gin cocktail to warm you in from a lovely long winter walk. We've certainly all been on many of those lately.
Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and is widely used in traditional medicines to cure all sorts of illnesses, especially colds and sore throats so this drink is also best enjoyed when you are trying to stave off the winter sniffles.
Occassion: A winter warming drink. Enough of these and you won't even need a log fire, although we highly recommend those! When you are doing your best to stave off a cold.
