Brymor Ice-Cream is produced at High Jervaulx, one of Britain’s few genuine on-farm manufacturers where only the milk produced on the farm is used in the careful production of the ice cream.
The farm produces 30 tempting flavours including mint choc chip, ginger and rum and raisin. I managed to get my hands on vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, of which the vanilla was my personal favourite: dense and velvety.

This very handsome, tall, silver-topped bottle had been sitting on my desk for two weeks. Not that I wasn't keen to try it, but this particular bottle is full of a very interesting combination of vodka and bubbles. So you see this presents a problem. I am told that, unless sealed with a champagne stopper, the bubbles last for 8 hours at the most. I certainly can’t drink 750ml of vodka, five times distilled, sparkling or otherwise, on my own.

Pronounced ‘ka-roon’, this Scottish gin would give Casanova a run for his money when it comes to playing it smooth. Made from five Celtic botanicals, this small batch distilled gin is what you might call a ‘boutique’ spirit.
It’s smoothness could also be your downfall when it comes to the classic gin & tonic. We ended up using a little more gin in our glasses than we normally would, due to its subtler notes, but oh what a seamless mouthful ensued.
