Friends of mine have a surfeit of gooseberries, and I jokingly told them to make some gooseberry gin, not that I had ever heard of it, only damson gin.
Yesterday they called round and gave me a 'kit' for my birthday. Gberries, Billingtons golden caster sugar and a litre of Bombay Sapphire. Plus instructions. I only drink G &Ts in warm weather, normally late afternoon when abroad, and wondered if the expensive gin is overkill and substitute a cheaper brand. Obviously I have to make it... Churlish otherwise!
Any thoughts please?
