Enjoyed that read G, I was in a similar boat about 6 years ago, enjoyed the socialising around drink too much to swerve it totally, and the harder I tried, the harder it was.
I enjoyed drinking socially, still do, but weirdly, in the last couple of years I’ve just really chilled out on it, couldn’t tell you why? It just kinda happened, and it feels good, because it means there’s no guilt when I do indulge lol
I’ll be trying the bitters, and will post my thoughts.
Great recipe and an entertaining read as always. I am also using 0% beers as a reduction method! I quite like Botivo however it is expensive and smells like vinegar, tastes rather like it too. Experimenting I’ve found that adding some apple cider vinegar to tonic, ice and slices of orange produces much the same drink. I don’t like sweet but a drop of honey in this may also work. (still tastes like vinegar but I quite like it!) take good care xx
Tried Dry January last year ! It wasn’t for me. I didn’t feel any better in the mornings and I didn’t sleep any better either so I didn’t see the point …
I do have 0% beer with my normal beer just to reduce the weekly alcohol intake which is my compromise..
I will definitely try this recipe. I loved reading the article Genevieve and I agree with everything you say. I am using 0% beers as a way to cutting down. I’m not a beer person but I’m starting to enjoy a 0% beer while I’m cooking in the evening.
I did dry Jan too. From someone with the same hedonism and craving for good times, I feel you! Christmas was insane and I felt like I'd eaten seventeen turkeys and three tonnes of Stilton. It's great to recharge though. And yes you work too hard! X

Hey Dan! That sounds like a great strategy. No I didn't sleep better either ;-)

Thanks Maria. Cooking with a nice drink is one of life's great pleasures, right?
Absolutely!
