YESTERDAY WAS WORLD Gin Day.

Today, we recover.

And what about boutique gins like The Botanist?

Happy World Gin Day! What better way to celebrate than with a glass (or few) of our hugely popular and iconic G&T's - some have even said they're the best in town. #weloveboutiquegins #worldginday #cocktails #drinks #gin Source: troikaskydining

And what about these macaroons?

Happy World Gin Day! The best day of the year. Gin and Tonic Macaron! Fresh cucumber, lime and lemon filling with a Bombay Sapphire Gin gel. Only at @proofbaradelaide tonight, delicious! #macaron #macarons #macaroons #macaroon #foodie #adelaide #proofbar #pastry #gin #worldginday #yum #food #sugarman Source: ac_crawf

Soo... this is an astonishing @ac_crawf macaron creation. For world Gin day, he made a Gin & Tonic macaron with cucumber, lime and lemon filling and in the centre a @bombaysapphireofficial Gin gel. This was, in my opinion, one of his greatest creations. #adelaide #sugarman #macaron #delish #gin #ginandtonic #proof #bombaysapphire Source: mr_austin84

Created specially for World Gin Day, they have a cucumber, lime and lemon filling and in the centre there’s a Bombay Sapphire gin gel.

Enjoying the fact that my iPhone has learned to autocorrect "got" to "G&T".
