Because, this year, drinking is all some of us can afford to do.

The best cocktail I’ve had in my entire life was in a tiny little pub in Adelaide called ‘The Clever Little Tailor’.

The drink was called the Pink Lady and involved delicious gin, house-made grenadine, and some other spectacular ingredients that I can’t even remember.

It was and always will be the ultimate refreshing drink on a hot day but also something nice and light that you can enjoy regardless of the weather.

Whatever you’re doing or not doing for the new year, I hope it goes well.
