The Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin is incredibly popular in Australia (made in the Yarra Valley, right around the corner from where I grew up), and it also happens to be my Mum's favourite gin. Bloody Shiraz is fabulous neat over ice or with just a wee bit of tonic or soda. Four Pillars used to make this a seasonal/special release, but it was so popular that it is now one of their mainstays and is available worldwide.

Another fabulous Australian gin, Brookie's Byron Dry Gin, is made with 25 botanicals, with 17 of them being native to northern New South Wales, including Byron sunrise finger lime, cinnamon myrtle, aniseed myrtle, river mint, and macadamia. Brookie's is an Australian take on the classic London Dry style: citrus and juniper take the lead with support from refreshing green spice and a hint of red fruit. Brookie's gin came about from a collaboration between founder Eddie Brook and Master Distiller Jim McEwan (who established another fabulous gin, The Botanist).

Espolon Reposado is perfect for use in cocktails but also drinks well neat, over ice or with a squeeze of lime. I've been drinking this tequila for a long time, and it is one of the staples in our liquor cabinet. Espolon Reposado is matured in American oak barrels for six months before bottling. It is also worth keeping an eye out for Espolon Anejo (aged in American white oak casks for at least 12 months, then finished in heavily charred Wild Turkey bourbon barrels); however, it can be hard to come by outside of the USA.

At 60% abv, this overproof white rum pot-stilled in Jamaica by Worthy Park distillery packs a hell of a punch. I first tried this after a recommendation on Malt Review, where they compared Bacardi Superior and Rum-Bar, and Rum-Bar won, hands down. Bacardi reminds me of nail polish remover, whereas Rum-Bar is my new favourite white rum for cocktails.

A full-size (700ml) bottle of Crystal Head Vodka and two 'shot' glasses (large shots!). I would use the skulls as whiskey or liqueur-tasting glasses, as they'd look rather good with a darker-coloured spirit in them.

I ordered a bunch of these ceramic tiki cocktail mugs for our home bar and as gifts for friends - the Geeki Tiki range is extensive, from Star Wars to Rick and Morty, DC, Marvel, Start Trek, LOTR and many more. Most of these Tikis are 16oz (473ml), although some of the smaller characters (e.g. Baby Groot) are only 10z, while the Iron Giant we've just ordered is a whopping 828ml / 28 oz.

Jeffrey Morgenthaler's favourite press juicer (as per The Bar Book), the Norpro stainless steel juicer, will juice lemons and limes - he likes it for its stylishness and functionality. His other recommendation is the Amco Enamelled Aluminum Lemon Press and Orange Press - it also comes as a lime press, but the lemon one will cover that. We recently purchased the Norpro and it is so much more efficient than our old manual juicer! It is easy to clean and well made. I've found thick skinned lemons can be a bit of a workout, but it limes and thinner skinned Meyer lemons are easy to juice.

In Mezcal, 2022 James Beard Award-winning author Emma Janzen explores what sets this cousin of tequila apart from the rest of the pack. I'm amazed at how many peated whisky fans have never tried Mezcal! The flavour profile reminds me so much of a Caol Ila, or Bunnahabhain. This book is a fabulous introduction to the craft of Mezcal, from growing and harvesting the agave to roasting and grinding it to distilling and ageing.

Fabulously designed classic coupe cocktail glasses (love these for a Manhattan) 6oz (180ml). Elegant, durable, and designed for commercial use. Coupes are also a lovely old way of serving champagne - fashionable in France from their introduction in the 18th century and in the United States from the 1930s (think Great Gatsby).
