Beautiful pink gin, destined for Kaia Wine Bar, in return for the crate of red currants gifted to me in the summer. The result is fruity, in a red way, but not sweet at all. I'll be making chutney with the very ginny fruit that is left behind.

Red currant gin

I so wanted to comment on your sad post from last week, attempted, deleted. I am 59 and so understood what you were saying. I can write tonight because I purchased an Abraham Darby Rose on your recommendation and am enjoying the last bloom of the season on our kitchen windowsill. We all need to find gratitude and beauty in our world. Thank you for all you do for your readers. Lisa
