As you may or may not know,
today is World Gin Day and as such, I thought I'd share with you a few little
things I won from the lovely folk at Harrods and Hendrick's. The competition was in aid of the launch of The Great
Gatsby - Harrods also had a 1920s themed pop-up bar around the time the film was released. After answering a quick question on Al Capone,
the prizes were mine - all mine! Ahem. I didn't really know what I'd won as I was
enticed by the words 'Hendrick's Cocktail Kit' and looked no further - I then subsequently
forgot I'd won. So when two boxes blazoned
with "Harrods" turned up, I was quickly reminded.
Ripping open the boxes (well
not really ripping, I'd just done my nails) I was amazed to see how much stuff
they'd sent...
A teapot and four cups and saucers
A bottle of Hendrick's (of course), a Nuance cocktail shaker with a beautiful Streamline Moderne shape and a bar spoon (which I have needed for a long time)
Cocktail bitters traveller's set
from The Bitter Truth
The Classic Cocktail Bible by Allan Gage, The Hendrick's Cucumber Companion (a book on how to prepare various cucumber garnishes) and a pack of playing cards
Field Guide to Hendrick's, two copies of the book Etiquette for Gentlemen and the Radio 4 dramatisation of The Great Gatsby
Thank you very much to
Hendrick's and Harrods, I shall have a most pleasant World Gin Day with all of
these goodies. Cheers!
