I’ve been told many times that I’m an old soul. I’m unsure if this is something that is just me; not learned or anything, just always there, or if I’ve slowly acquired a taste for things that perhaps make me appear older than I am. Take cocktails for example, gin which most people associate with an older demographic is by far my favourite. And this Gimlet throwback to the 1920’s is definitely a new favourite.
