I’ve always been of the opinion that gin is very much an acquired taste. The very thought of tasting and drinking gin was completely foreign to me until June 2017. A blogger friend of mine from Dubai came to visit Cape Town and the winelands and we met up one evening. At a gin bar. To be honest, I was a tad panicky about trying gin as my previous experience had not been a good one at all.

But as I sipped my first craft gin cocktail with fresh orange slices, I thought that maybe, just maybe, it could be fun to start trying new gins and drink something other than wine and champagne. Don’t get me wrong, I still love these two, but craft gin has also become a firm favourite. I know it has taken me awhile to join the #GinRevolution, but better late than never right? 😉
