It has leaped into my mind that I have written so much about males drinking London gin, and me being female (or at least I was the last moment when I checked), and I drink London gin, consequently at risk from it turning into a bit of a male fest, here’s 1 just for the females.
The next occasion you’re on a ladies night out, and waiting at the bar, trying to work out what you want to drink, and well you are not able to consume beer, as the pint glass wouldn’t look right with your rig out, and you simply can’t drink cider, this is because it makes you puffed up, you honestly wouldn’t mind a drink of your favourite wine, on the other hand damn shame, thats a billion calories you would much rather spend on delicious chocolates, and well you would like to consume a bottle of champagne, yet that isn’t truly likely to happen unless a rich benefactor turns up and takes you home to his large home, and buys you lots of clothes and settles all of your bills…so what the hell are you going to drink? Well my soul mates, concern yourself no longer, mainly because Vicki has done the labour so that you do not have to.
The remedy will be…..ok you most likely guessed it because of the truth I’m currently talking about Oliver Twist gin but it’s distilled gin & (Slimline)Tonic!
“Really? Why?” I hear you ask. Well…here it goes:
1) They’re seriously low in calories. Inside a Gin & Slimline Tonic there are only…wait for it….merely 56 calories. So you need not feel too remorseful if you drink several, and also you don’t need to ruin any pre-christmas diet plans. This is a win win situation.
2) It’s great for your bones, I am deadly serious. It assists with joint problems and has been recently recognized to help as a “remedy” for osteoarthritis. All you have to do is find a handful of golden raisins, set them in a bowl, drench them in London distilled gin, leave the gin to disappear for a week, pop them within a container, and then munch on a number of them daily…and at some point, your joints might be becoming moderately healthier and stronger. I would not advocate doing this in a bar though because you’re probably going to look just like an complete idiot.
3) One other significant fact is that, on the build up to your female period occurring each month, a few females encounter a bloated tummy, and the juniper berries which are found in London gin possess a diuretic (which means you pee even more) action. Which means you get rid of more water which assists to provide a temporarily strategy to bloating.
All this being reported, whenever you feel a lttle bit peaky and you are looking for a drink of the interesting variety, bare in mind, that a spoonful of tonic can make gin go down (in the most lovely way).
