Gin + hot water + honey + lime makes for as nice a cold-weather drink as mulled wine or minttu hot chocolate. Why the idea of this, essentially hot gin'n'tonic, came into being in the middle of the persistently 38C August, I have no Clue.
(Sentences written: 2. Unintentional refs snuck in: 3. Re-read. Make that 4. And I did deliberately stay my hand from inserting all the obvious ones. Oh. Jeesh...)
