I am a HUGE gin fan.  I don’t usually enjoy too much alcohol, but when it comes to gin I feel there is nothing better on a hot evening.  Husband & I sit outside, enjoy a cold drink together & chat over our day.  My body doesn’t feel bloated or gross after I have indulged a little, & I haven’t woken up with any kind of headache.

And then I discovered Sugarbird Gin & I was even more excited.  Read on to see why…

What makes your gin different to other brands: A proudly South African gin inspired by the people of our beautiful country. Sugarbird Gin is distilled and infused with Cape Fynbos. Which is key to our distinct, unique, proudly South African flavour. It’s these gentle, fragrant flavours that make Sugarbird the perfect gin to drink neat over ice, in a G&T, or in a delicious cocktail: Sugarbird fits your life effortlessly.

Quote you live by: “There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask “What if I fall?”
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
― Erin Hanson


Are these not just too gorgeous?  It is a definite benefit being an adult & I think these would be a great addition to any Christmas tree & celebration.
