Cocktails

 The week before I moved house, my Young Man came to visit, and there were a few things that he wanted to do while he was here.

The first of these was to visit Hay Distillery's new bar, on the corner facing the old library where the pottery shop used to be.  Since he first tasted Wild Knapp Gin, he's been something of  an evangelist about it, and has introduced several of his gin drinking friends to it.

He wanted to buy a couple of small bottles as presents, and we also settled in for cocktails.  He had a Dark and Stormy, which is made with rum, and I had the Bramble.  They're not the cheapest drinks in Hay, at £8, but they are drinks for sipping over a period of time, and they were very tasty

The Young Man got talking to the lady behind the counter, who told us that they also distill a special gin for Chapters restaurant.
