If you have a case of the January blues, then pour yourself a glass of Birch Gin... but don't go cold, go hot!

We think this is a game changer, a measure of gin... but not with tonic, not with ginger ale, but apple juice and not cold, hot!

We took some along to our local fireworks night and people were queuing around the field for a cup.

So don't knock it until you try it - you wouldn't believe how good it tastes, and one is never enough - so pull up a chair in front of the fire, or wrap up warm and sit outside with a mug of heaven in your hands.

It definitely warms the cockles.

... and when you stir it with a stick of rosemary, the flavour just floods out!
