Hi - I’ve never really drunk gin but I have just received an present of Malfy blood orange gin? ( work related to the giver wouldn’t know me personally)
Bottle looks quite fancy!
Is it nice? And if I decide to gift it on is it a nice pressie for a gin drinker?

I'm a gin drinker and have been given this as a present in the past. I really like it.

It's lovely

Oh - now I’m torn between testing it out and giving it to a gin loving friend! Maybe I can invite gin loving friend over and we can share!

It's a lovely one. I'd keep it.
Keep it simple with a nice plain tonic or lemonade, ice and a slice of orange.

Hi Everyone - any ideas what to do with unopened bottles of gin? I’ve got several bottles of various flavored gin and a big bottle of Bombay Sapphire that have been bought for me since I mentioned I like gin… but I only drink about 4 times a year! You can’t sell it on Facebook or eBay, but it seems such a waste. I couldn’t find any online companies that will buy it off you - any ideas? TIA

Do you have a local bartering FB group? You could swap them for things you do use ie pet food, crisps, soft drinks, washing tabs etc etc!!

My mouth is watering just thinking about it 😋

Shrimpyshark · 01/02/2024 20:52

Oh never thought of that - I’ll have a search!

I give bottles of spirits I won’t drink to a friend who does raffles to raise money for a local cancer hospice.

I'll happily take them off your hands 👀

As a pp said put them up for swaps on Facebook, I'm sure they'll be snapped up!

all the groups I can find say you can’t sell or swap alcohol

Oh that's a shame - my local bartering group is awash with alcohol!!
