Branching Out With Alcohol

Let’s face it, we all have our favourite alcoholic drink and we all know that moment where we found it. Sometimes, it’s nice to be a little more adventurous and try something different. The best way to do this is with miniatures, like whiskey miniatures or gin minis. This way you can try out a new drink without buying a full bottle. Now it’s 2019 everything has so many different variations on the originals that you may have thought you didn’t like rum, but have you tried spiced rum? Vanilla rum? So many different ingredients mixing together makes for a drink you didn’t think you’d ever like, become your new favourite. Here are my suggestions on branding out with alcohol.

Spiced Rum

On a cold winter’s night, there are not many alcoholic drinks that you would consider warming and comforting, but spiced rum and coke is quite honestly amazing. We all know the super popular coconut flavoured rum but spiced rum is a whole other ball game. It’s not as strong or as spicy as you’re probably imagining, it’s just extremely tasty and drinkable. You don’t need a normal measurement of spiced rum though, this is one where you can actually put a little less and it tastes even better. Whoever said that?

Flavoured Gins

Depending on the generation, most people know gin as something to avoid and it has been referred to as ‘mother’s ruin’. Now, gin is the hot topic of this decade! Even your local pub will probably have 10 different types of gin in, and no one is shy about paying the pricey amount per glass either. Add different fruits and even glitter to make your gin your own. This is definitely a drink that most people never thought they would get on with, but now there are so many different flavours and concoctions, you’d hardly recognise it!

Vanilla Vodka

Sometimes vodka can be a little too strong for most people, especially outside of cocktails and on it’s own or with a mixer. However, flavoured vodka is really exciting! Vanilla vodka for example turns an ordinary coke into the best alcoholic coke you’ll ever have! It’s extremely smooth and so much better than plain version. 2019 is definitely the year to branch out with your alcohol and try something new. Just remember to drink responsibly.
