2017 is about to (finally!) be over - it was a very long and super busy year, and one I will be happy to see the back of. It was also a year spent drinking cocktails, which is always a plus! Looking back at my photos from the last year - I have added some … Continue reading 2017 in Cocktails

Leeds
One of my Christmas presents for Sean last year was a trip to Leeds to see Alice Cooper. Neither of us had ever been to Leeds (or new of anything at all to do there) - so we looked up a couple of restaurants and places to visit and set off for our random weekend … Continue reading Leeds
A weekend of Gin in Drogheda
About 3 years ago I was in Germany with Sean and I tried Monkey 47 for the first time, and this kicked off my love of gin! Up until that point I had only tried Gordon's with a bit of flat tonic so I branded all gin with having the same crap taste. Since then … Continue reading A weekend of Gin in Drogheda

New York – Bars & Restaurants
I was planning on writing about New York day by day, but instead decided to break it up a little bit and bars is obviously the most important! We had 5 nights in New York in early June and although we had both been before, we hadn't been there together. We decided not to … Continue reading New York – Bars & Restaurants
Espresso Martini – My new favourite cocktail
Probably the best present I ever received was a Nespresso machine for Christmas 2016! I started early on Christmas morning with a 9am Espresso Martini and spent a while figuring out how to make the best one! One of my favourite bars in Dublin to get an espresso martini and which started my obsession is … Continue reading Espresso Martini – My new favourite cocktail
