Photo: A hand holding a small glass bottle of gin towards the camera, dominating the foreground. The bottle has a dark grey screw cap and a white label reading "DRINKS by the DRAM" with "Gordon's Sicilian Lemon" and "Gin" printed below. The pale golden liquid is visible inside. Behind the bottle, slightly out of focus, sits a woman with red hair wearing a black top and red apron on a grey sofa, smiling at the camera. A man in a white and blue sleeved shirt sits next to her, his hand extended holding the bottle. A red and black tartan blanket covers their laps. The familiar living room setting shows pale pink curtains, cream walls with framed photographs, and purple curtains visible to the right. A decorative sequined cushion sits on the sofa to the left.

Gin Advent Calendar Day 2: An Unexpected Aroma

Day two of the gin advent calendar arrived, and MrsVark managed to rip the door. Not an auspicious start.

Behind the mangled cardboard lurked Gordon's Sicilian Lemon Gin. A flavoured gin. This could go either way.

The moment we opened the bottle, reactions were... immediate. And specific. Very specific, in fact. Let's just say the tasting notes were not what you'd typically find on a distillery's website.

The question was whether it would taste as it smelled. There was only one way to find out.

I'll leave you to discover MrsVark's verdict for yourself, though I will say it involved household products and a certain level of concern about blowing bubbles.

Two days in, and the £75 investment is looking increasingly questionable. Will Day 3 redeem this advent calendar, or are we destined for 23 more days of regret?

Here's the video. You'll understand why I'm not giving too much away.

See you tomorrow for Day 3. Assuming we survive.
