Zymurgorium Gin

Zymurgorium Gin first appeared on the scene in January 2014, and have since grown in number and quality ever since; the popularity of which they have almost not been able to cope with! But thanks to the people’s desire, they have expanded into a bigger and better distillery here in Manchester.

Zymurgorium are most famous for their incredible gin liqueurs (in my opinion), and I often see their recognisable bottles dotted around the internet. However if gin isn’t your thing, they also make an array of other beverages, and most recently, sanitiser – helping the struggling category during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Virtual Cocktail Class

Speaking of Coronavirus, you might have seen on my Instagram that Zymurgorium recently invited me to a virtual cocktail class, as a fun way of hosting an event during lockdown. It was such a fun way to interact with some new and familiar faces. I love how creative brands got with continuing business whilst we were all stuck inside. This little video gives you a sneak peek into the fun we got up to, and now you can join in too!

Zymurgorium are holding virtual classes to bring the party to you, and their first one will be held on the 17th July. You can learn how to make some summer cocktails, with the helping hand of party hosts; Manchester sweetheart and acclaimed radio presenter, Hattie Pearson, and bartender Charlie. You’ll learn how to make four cocktails containing Zymurgorium gin based liqueurs, with games and challenges along the way.

Tickets are priced at £30 per person (including delivery). This includes the Mini Zym Stacker, consisting of five different gin based liqueurs; Cherry Bakewell, Sweet Violet, Strawberry Mint, Quince and Ginger and Turkish Delight. These will be sent out to you ahead of the event. Zymurgorium will also provide you with a list of equipment and any additional ingredients you will need for the drinks, and of course a zoom link to join the party!

Review

I had such a good time and it was great to try something new and make delicious drinks from my own kitchen! I’d usually just play it safe with a gin and tonic, so learning a few new cocktails to add to my bartending repertoire for lockdown drinks nights is great! Plus I’m definitely all quizzed out by now, and I’m sure you are too? So something different that I could do with friends from home is a much welcomed and exciting idea!

I know rules are starting to ease now, but this is such a great thing to do when you can’t see friends and family, or if you want to change up some of your nights in. I’ll definitely still be doing mostly nights in for the foreseeable. So if you want to join with friends or even make some new friends then this is such a cool concept. You could even buy the larger bottles and do it when you have a few people over.

We also played some games and our hosts were fab at getting everyone involved and chatting. So don’t feel like it will be awkward if you join alone because it totally won’t! We were all well looked after and it was a fun few hours to spend the evening. I’d highly recommend this, and for £30 including the gin, I think it’s great value for money! Plus, you don’t even need to change out of your PJs 😉

You can head to the website here to get your tickets for their next event.

📍Snaps from our stay at @deadwoodcabins 🤠🇺🇸🌵 a dreamy Wild West inspired retreat in rural Lincolnshire with the cutest cabins, cosy log fires and the best neighbours Dolly and Doris 🐷 cannot recommend this place enough for a little glamping getaway 👌 it was so nice to have a bit of a digital detox - the cabins have games and a private BBQ (you can pre-order food for the BBQ which will be in your fridge when you arrive) so we spent the night cooking dinner and smores, playing scrabble and drinking mulled wine in front of the fire 🥰 there are three different cabins to choose from and all of them are filled with souvenirs and trinkets that make each one unique. There’s also a saloon if you want to go hang (BYOB or there’s an honesty box for beers from the fridge) and you can help yourself to fresh chicken eggs for breakfast too 🍳 thank you to @paarriiee for being such a lovely host, can’t wait to come back 🖤

‘Ndu Y’Olive Me? YES @nellspizza I do 🍕❤️ 
There’s some new menu items that have made it straight to the top of my faves list, including a chopped salad, moreish garlicky dough bites, and a pizza with nduja, olives, vodka sauce and basil 👌 ALSO the cocktails are SO underrated here - the margs are top tier and their new seasonal drinks are a must try. Will be back for the pistachio ice cream sandwich (so hard not to prioritise eating as much pizza as possible and save room for dessert but I will manage it one day) ✌️

NYC day 6 ✌️ 🖤 started with mimosas on our NYC day 6 ✌️
🖤 started with mimosas on our rooftop. Waking up to the nyc skyline is my fave.
🖤 we got the subway to @citifield to watch the @mets ⚾️🏟️ so much fun - would definitely recommend doing this if you’re visiting. The whole experience was one of my favourites of the trip.
🖤 A little wander and some vintage shops on the way back to the hotel before getting ready for dinner.
🖤 Dinner at @ivan_ramen 🍜👌 easily the best ramen I’ve ever had (thanks to @josgoncalves91 for the recommendation - SO glad I went here and would definitely recommend to anyone else. Watch the chefs table episode on Netflix.)
🖤 ended the eve with a couple of amazing cocktail bars - @superbuenonyc (no.2 in North America’s 50 best bars) and @attaboy134 (22 in the worlds 50 best bars)🍸 unsurprisingly both up there on my list of favourite cocktails. Also both really lovely atmospheres and would 10000% return. Attaboy have no menu but you just tell them what you like and what you’re in the mood for and they make you something incredible 👌 it’s also hidden behind a very normal looking door (last pic) so you gotta knock to get in.
Superbueno is Mexican-American, a really fun vibe and also serve food 🌮

Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 one my favourite evenings at one of my favourite spots, and the food is so so good. The menu is mostly small plates (with some biggies in there too) so it’s perfect for sharing with some bottles of wine ofc. 💕
My faves are the Tuna Crudo, BBQ Mackerel (the best mackerel I’ve ever eaten), the steak is 10/10 and honestly Evelyn’s is one of my fave places for the veggie dishes! Oh and the lamb. AND the dessert! Okay I’ll stop. If the fact that every dish on the menu being great isn’t enough to get you there, they also offer 50% off wine 5-7pm weekdays 🍷 which is surely one of the best happy hours in town?! 
20/10 always great and this menu might be the best yet!
