Dressed for summer

Zubrowka is famously susceptible to the extremes of the Scottish summer. Appropriate cover is essential to make sure that rare creature makes it through to autumn.

MxMo: Spice

It’s Monday, and that means it’s about time for the international drinkblogging community to showcase all the cool things we’ve been playing with. This month’s Mixology Monday is being graciously hosted by Craig at Tiki Drinks & Indigo Firmaments (thanks!) and – topically, for Christmas – the theme is spice.

Spices belong to that category of things you won’t miss until they’re not there. It’s literally inconceivable to eat without salt and pepper on the table. Vanilla has become so prevalent as a flavour that the word can be used to describe things that are boring, unremarkable, and yet the general connotation of spices is of exoticism, of a faraway culture.
