Canada Dry Premium Tonic Water- The newcomer on the block, I picked this up recently to give it a go.  It's the same price as Fever Tree at $5.99 for four, so I expected good things.  It's made with Cane Sugar and all natural flavours, so if you are averse to diet drinks, which is always my preference, this is a great option for you. This tonic has bubbles for days!  It holds it fizz for a really long time, so if you are a slow drinker this is the tonic for you.  It has a great clean flavour too, so perfect for a vast range of gin.  

Valentine's Day is coming.  Did you know already?  Have you been bombarded with hearts, glitter and overpriced roses yet? 

My family are fab.  They are a great bunch who on lots of occasions give me reason to giggle out loud.  I feel it is only fair to share these comic moments so I will begin with a story my Mum passed to me.

My Nan has just had an operation and my Mum called round to give her a hand and make sure she does not do too much around the house etc.  It's 11.45am and Mum is about to make lunch so thinks a quick cup of tea for Nan, Grandad and herself before she starts would be a good idea.  The conversation goes:

Mum: "Do you two fancy a cup of tea before I start cooking lunch?"
Nan: "No, we normally have a gin and tonic about this time"

You see it's a not just me.  The love of gin and tonic is a family thing.  I am very proud of them and I can assure you that when I reach my 80's, a gin and tonic before lunch will be firmly in my daily routine too.
