An amber cocktail garnished with a scorched lemon wedge in a green glass against a beige background.
#FancyDrinks Reno (Montenegro Amaro, Suze, Americano bianco, Italicus, scorched lemon). Not pictured: man dying from gunshot wound.
A pink cocktail against a green background.
#FancyDrinks Betty White (Raspberry vodka, gin, rose liqueur, Lillet blanc, rose water).
A dark brown cocktail in a modern martini glass against a green background.
#FancyDrinks It’s Espresso Martini Day, apparently. Rude not to.
A pink cocktail in a tall glass against a blue background
A purple cocktail in a Nick n Nora glass against a blue background
A pale yellow cocktail against a blue background
The same pale yellow cocktail as before but styled on a wood slice against a neutral marble background
Fannying about again. #FancyDrinks
A pink cocktail in a tall coupe against a blue background with some yellow tulips thrown in because I’m a poncey twat now.
#FancyDrinks Butterfly pea flower gin sour *again* but this time with the Method glass cleaner version. I recon the pink would be even pinker without the Angostura bitters so I’ll try that tomorrow.
A milky white cocktail in a sour glass, garnished with a skewered olive.
The same cocktail with added Lego cherry blossom.
The same cocktail with slightly different lighting (I have no idea what I’m doing.)
The same cocktail with slightly different lighting and Lego cherry blossom.
#FancyDrinks Sakura Martini. “garnish with fresh cherry blossom.” Um, will Lego do?
A golden brown cocktail in a green dappled glass against a kind of beige background.
#FancyDrinks Death Star. No butterfly pea flower gin was harmed in the making of this cocktail.
A dark magenta cocktail in a fancy goblet against a blue background with terrible lighting.
#FancyDrinks Gin sour with butterfly pea flower gin. This isn’t the sugary pink I was expecting. I might make a batch that’s not infused for so long and see if that helps. Delicious, though.
A cocktail in a tall glass against a pink background. The cocktail is deep purple at the top and yellow at the bottom. It’s garnished with a pineapple wedge, pineapple fronds and a maraschino cherry.
#FancyDrinks Butterfly Effect (pineapple juice, lime juice, vanilla syrup, butterfly pea flower gin). Way sweeter than I would normally go for but I couldn’t resist the layers. Not acidic enough to change the colour of the gin, apparently.
A deep purple cocktail in a tall coupe glass garnished with a twist of lemon. It sis on a small silver cake drum against a pink background with a yellow tulip at the base.
The same cocktail and tulip but the backdrop is pale green marble.
The same cocktail in lower light against a black marble backdrop, without the tulip
Off for a long weekend now so that means #FancyDrinks. (I did not include alcohol in the things I gave up for Lent.) Been fannying around with backdrops and stuff because I’ve been #influenced by InstaWankers. Anyway, Dry Martini 15:1 with butterfly pea flower gin.
#FancyDrinks next weekend. With my fancy purple gin.
Not yet. I’ve put them in my basket in the hope they’ll send me a discount code…
I have, however, ordered backdrops, props and a light in an attempt at taking better #FancyDrinks photos. What the fuck is wrong with me? 😂
A purgatory cocktail against a a black background.
The same cocktail with different camera settings, which might require more lighting.

A negroni
They’re technically closed but they gave us a negroni for the road. My head is going to hurt tomorrow. #FancyDrinks
Wow. That menu looks impressive. #FancyDrinks

A phone screenshot showing lots of sleep data and a 100% sleep score
It turns out #FancyDrinks and fried chicken are the key to a perfect sleep score. BRB I’m just going to tell Bryan Johnson.
The Meece enjoying the vibe of Speak in Code
We’ve left SiC now but before we left The Meece came out to see what all the fuss is about. Marjorie was impressed with the knowledgable staff and has proclaimed it Not Frivolous. Check the sky for two moons &c. #FancyDrinks

The window near our table. The wall is bare brick and there’s a lot of trailing greenery. A fairly loud hip-hop sound track is playing.
The desk where you book in is a vintage Singer sewing machine.
A page of the menu, which appears handwritten and drawn.
A bowl of olives, a bowl of nuts and a tall cocktail with a slice of kiwi nestling at the top of the glass. A cocktail in an old fashioned glass sits behind the nuts.
We made it to Speak in Code! Dinner is olives, nuts and Demo 2. #FancyDrinks
I’m concerned that he won’t feel well enough for Speak in Code this evening. I’m being very selfish but I’ve been dying to go since we failed to get in in October and we actually have a table booked this time. I’m a terrible person who really wants the fanciest of #FancyDrinks
A deep orange cocktail in a glass sprayed with gold dust
It’s not too late to make a New Year’s Resolution by incorporating apple cider vinegar into your diet. Try a Titre Provisoire (cognac, fig liqueur, dry vermouth, Benedictine, ACV). #FancyDrinks Follow me for more wellness tips. #FitFam #SelfCare #HaveAnotherFerreroRocherYouKnowYouWantOne
A red cocktail in an old fashioned glass garnished with lime.
I’ve had a go at recreating a cocktail I had in Italy last year - Rosagrume. It was a concoction of lemon, lime and orange wedges muddled in the glass with cane sugar, then gin, Campari and rose liqueur. No idea of proportions so I went 40/40/15 and it seems about right. Cincin! #FancyDrinks
A garish orange cocktail being gawped at by felt mice.
The same cocktail against a slightly more sophisticated black and white background.
#FancyDrinks Aperol Spritz. Mouse version and poncey dickhead version. Both have been sprayed gold because why not?
Good to see some things don’t change. #fancydrinks Happy new year xx
The same cocktails as before but shot in front of a white door in a black room.
