‘What would you like to drink?’
Do you find yourself struggling to think of an option that would really thrill?
Well, Frost has some great new ideas for you.
First – alcohol (of course). So why not try Britain’s oldest wines and spirits merchant – Berry Bros & Rudd, St James’s, London? Besides all their amazing wines, I can recommend two other of their products.
First – the ginger liqueur – named King’s Ginger, because it formulated by them in 1903 for King Edward VII, no less. And I can see why the king liked it. Smooth and light with the ginger warmth at the back of your throat – delicious neat or with ice.
Second – No 3 London Dry Gin – named after their premises – No 3 St James Street. A classical dry gin, celebrating juniper at its best.
And – great news – you can try these and their other products, because they also host private events – fine food dining and wine tastings within their (two acres) of cellars, deep below the London streets. What a fabulous experience. See their website for details.
But what if you’re driving, or simply don’t want alcohol? Well, easy – go to The London Essence Company for some really special beverages.
I was blown away by their Grapefruit and Rosemary Tonic Water – in a large glass, with plenty of ice, this delicious mixer, created from distilled botanicals and natural flavourings was perfection. And, if needed, it will complement a good gin too. Other flavours include bitter orange and elderflower, and pomelo and pink pepper, in addition to classical tonic water.
And if tonic water is not for you, try their very special ginger ale, made from steeped ginger root and aniseed distillate, or their rhubarb and cardamom crafted soda.
Stocked by Waitrose and Ocado.
Well, after all that writing, I think I need a drink.
