With frosty mornings definitely upon us, my mind is taken instantly to Christmas, and of course, presents. I always find the best presents are those which have been handmade and crafted with love – one of my favourite gifts is the annual bottle of sloe gin I receive from my father-in-law. Gin seems to be very quickly becoming one of the UK’s most popular alcoholic drinks, and in my view, sloe gin is the very best gin there is.
