It’s almost Pancake Day and we’re so excited to share some Tipple ideas with you!
We all know how good a pancake is – topped with maple syrup, strawberries, bananas, whipped cream, honey, blueberries, vanilla or chocolate … but have you ever considered using Gin or Rum in your pancakes?
We don’t have a banana rum … yet … but we do have Blueberry Gin as well as Honey, Vanilla and Chocolate Rums!
We bet even Rhubarb Gin and Gooseberry Gin would work a treat, but testing them all wouldn’t have been very healthy for the Tipple Team! Instead, we chose a few contenders and have done the hard work making and taste-testing them. The things we do for our Tipplers 😉
We have to say that we were otterly delighted (and astonished!) at the results as they were all very tasty! We’ve picked the Tipple Team’s favourite two to share them with you – they’re definitely worth a try this Pancake Day (or any day if like us, you love pancakes!)
