Before this drink, I thought Rosebud was just a cheat code for the Sims on PC - but today my life has changed with the Rosebud Cocktail mix from Fling.

With Gin Jubiliee in full swing, Evette from Lighthouse Gin comes in and crafts a lovely cocktail that easily hides the taste of gin, quite sneaky but very refreshing.

It's another classic spin on the humble Gin & Tonic, but there's olives and office mugs involved this time 'round. Gin Jubilee is also just around the corner. We also need a name for this drink... Ideas?
