Of an evening


Terrace life, light past 8pm and dinners outside seem a long way away. 

In the meantime, in the kitchen, it's gin, cassis and lemon juice, for a Mississippi Mule - recipe found in an old, foxed bartender's book in my father's study. Years ago, before reading that book, I shook this combination up, naming it The Paintbrush, my great invention, before discovering that it existed officially, as the Mule.

But my name's better.

  2. What is your recipe for using those ingredients? In my advanced age, I am thinking of learning how to make a few delicious cocktails.

    1. I'd recommend a good old fashioned bartender's manual. They're fun

      My Mule recipe is 3oz gin, 1 oz creme de cassis and 1 oz lemon juice.
