I remember trying gin for the first time. I was at University and sampled some Gordon\u2019s gin, neat. It was awful and I couldn\u2019t believe a drink could actually take away moisture from your mouth. The experience was so bad, I didn\u2019t touch the stuff again for almost 10 years.<\/p>\n

How times have changed, I now love it! It has to be in a proper gin glass, with loads of ice and a slice of any citrus fruit (and I still don\u2019t like Gordon\u2019s!) but it\u2019s great. I like sampling all the different options but my current favourite is our local Burleigh\u2019s Gin.<\/p>\n

My husband is also a big fan and so for his birthday I booked us in at Burleigh\u2019s Gin School in Leicester. Some of you might have heard of it but essentially you go, drink and make gin. The experience lasted about 3.5 hours including a brief introduction to gin (whilst having one in hand) and we learnt about the process of making it. We then had a cocktail masterclass where we made a gin cocktail, blindfolded and then moved on to making our own.<\/p>\n
