..ok technically Gin Monkey (aka Emma) is not a friend but someone I know through the wonderful world of the interwebs, her site is the reason I  joined the London Cocktail Society. I don’t know how she maintains a full time job and the website amazing amount of cocktail knowledge and connections with people in the industry that she seems to maintain (she’s also the original inventor of this map) which I use and it makes me look good and not just her, The Cocktail Geek (Mark) and London Cocktail Guide (Kate) the other founding members of LCS)

Anyway, Emma has launched an Etsy site with ‘Gin Monkey’ items, they’re great and help her support the Gin Monkey site. I’ve bought something for The Parent for Mother’s Day because she loves badges…

All I would say that Gin Monkey is worth a look if you’re interested in drinking and most especially if you’re in London and love gin! More importantly if you like gin or know someone who does the Gin Monkey Etsy shop should be your first stop…
