january thoughts

Our two loves have been married in this NEW concoction by Belgian chocolatiers Xolato.

The gin infused with Columbian cocoa beans, Pietmonte hazelnuts, Avola almonds, wild Madagascan chilli peppers and vanilla, sounds like the PERFECT way to break our dry January goals!

Speaking to the Martini Whisperer, Stieven Victor, director of Xolat said, “We wanted to make something different from everything that was out there and were already into chocolate with our Belgian chocolate brand Xolato.”

“So we decided to try if a cocoa infused gin could work. Our first thought was that it would taste horrible.  We ended up with more than 20 different versions and found something really delicate and special about the final version.”

Earlier attempts have been made to perfect a chocolate gin, but the Ely Gin could only be legally classed as  a “juniper and chocolate flavoured spirit drink”.

Described by the Xolato as an “aphrodisiac”, we’re certain January won’t be dry at all!

We're less than two weeks into January and Christmas already feels like some kind of long-lost dream land. Remember when we had money? And got presents? And there was chocolate everywhere we looked? God, to be back in December again!

Here are a few of the bleak thoughts you've no doubt harboured so far this month…

1. "Am I really expected to do Dry January for a FULL month?"
31 days is an awfully long time to go without wine…

2. "Friday night in won't be so bad, will it?"
It's all well and good until you're weeping alone watching that documentary about abandoned lion cubs on Discovery Channel.

3. "It's HOW long to payday?"
Shampoo and conditioner were an excess luxury anyway. You'll just have to wash your hair with soap and water for the next few weeks. Be graaand.

4. "This skirt definitely wasn't so snug last month."
That'd be the three selection boxes and the tin of Roses you claimed for yourself on Stephen's Day.

5. "I love kale. I love kale. I love kale. I HATE KALE."
*shudder*

6. "There has to be a stray fiver in one of these pockets, surely."
Nothing says "loss of dignity" like frantically searching your couch cushions for a euro for the bus.

7. "How dodgy can this 'Reduced to Clear' chicken be?"
Is it meant to smell like this?!
