It's been nearly 2 years since Geek& Tonic posted, either here or on the blig. It's been a busy few years where there wasn't a lot of time for hobbies, but here's hoping 2023 has potential otherwise. #mixology

I popped into @homebargains the other day for some essentials and noticed they had Fentimans Tonic Water in stock - Pink Rhubarb or Valencia Orange, both priced at £1.79 for 8 x 150ml, perfect for G&Ts! Remember: shop responsibly + follow social distancing. #cocktails #gin #Deals

In April last year we were in love with the Russian Fizz. So delicious, and perfect for the beautiful weather even in these trying times! #cocktails #OneYearAgo #geekandtonic #blog

[Geek and Tonic @GeekandTonic]

Our latest cocktail recipe is the Russian Fizz, a gentler version of one of our favourite cocktails, the Ballet Russe. It's sweet, sour and veeeeery drinkable - so why not try it for yourself? #cocktails #vodka #mixology #bar

You'd think lockdown would give me plenty of time to work on new content for Geek and Tonic. Well as it turns out, that's not quite how things work😅 I'm still working on new posts, but our new normal has taken a toll on my mental health, so please bear with me! ♥️ #lockdownuk

[Geek and Tonic @GeekandTonic]

What are you doing during the lock down? Is anyone playing a new game? Maybe an old favourite, or something you've been meaning to play for a while but never had time? I've just started playing Call of Cthulhu on #XboxGamePassUltimate - y'all, it's wild!! 😲🦑

[Geek and Tonic @GeekandTonic]

I hope you're all staying safe out there! If anyone ever needs to chat, please send us a message and we'll have a natter 🙂

This isn't the end of days, but it will be tough. Show love and patience, and remember those who are on the front lines of this pandemic: NHS, delivery drivers, emergency workers, shop workers etc. Do not take out your frustration on them. In short, be excellent to each other. 🤟

[Geek and Tonic @GeekandTonic]

Hi guys. It's more important than ever that we look after ourselves, our family, our community, so make sure that you #StayAtHome and DON'T PANIC. Panic buying helps no one, and damages those we need to protect. Stay at home, save lives.

[Geek and Tonic @GeekandTonic]

If you have a favourite restaurant, bar, cafe etc, see if they're doing a delivery or take out service. This goes extra for the smaller independent businesses that still need our patronage - IF you can afford to spend a little at a local place, please do.

The Government must protect the hospitality and entertainment industries and MANDATE the closure of businesses so they can claim via insurance!

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

Let me add my voice to the justifiably outraged clamour of those furious at the govt for insisting hospitality and entertainment industries shut down without legally mandating them to do so, meaning they can’t claim insurance. Staggeringly reckless.

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

I’ve spent the day working with producers and theatres postponing and cancelling shows because it’s the right thing to do. Their reward? A shattered business, because Johnson et al are thinking more about big finance than peoples’ livelihoods.
