Happy Hour

Ginger Kombucha Mule

Happy Friday

You've made it to the end of the week so why not celebrate with us at House Curious and make one of our latest cocktail discoveries. With the change in weather we wanted to create something that was refreshing and warming that was fairly healthy. I know some of you will be doing sober October, which I thought I would try but I only lasted 24 hours. If you are looking for an alternative to gin then why not try Seedlip, to make a mocktail. It’s so good and I lived on it when I was pregnant.

This weeks cocktail is brought to you by Silent Pool Gin and it’s so simple and delicious. Have a great weekend and do share any cocktails you make with me over on instagram. You can also head over to IGTV for the live recipe.

Ingredients

1 25ml shot of gin

1 bottle of kombucha

Crushed ice

Lime wedges

1/2 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger

Instructions

Fill a glass or copper mug with crushed ice.

Add Silent Pool gin, grated ginger and then squeeze three to four lime wedges into the glass. Fill to the glass to the brim with kombucha and serve. Garnish with a wedge of lime.

Kitchen/Dining Room

Next up for our House Curious tour is the Kitchen/Dining room. Sorry guys I did this on the fly and literally had 10 minutes to film it in one take. So if I’ve missed anything or you have any questions please get in touch below. This room is the beating heart of our home. Everything happens here; gatherings, long meals with my family and friends, dreaming and scheming, rows, tears and epic dance offs. If my table could talk it would have some very interesting stories to tell. I took inspiration from my Sydney living with an open plan kitchen and lots of openness with floor to ceiling glass sliding doors, lot’s of greenery with a mixture of industrial elements and luxurious materials. For the complete low down come and follow me on IGTV

I'm having fun showing you around my home and thanks for all your lovely comments for those who have already joined me on one of my tours. On this weeks tour we reveal the family room, which leads off from the adult room. In contrast to the dark room it's grey in tone with accents of blue and brass. This is where the fambam hang and watch telly and we often have crazy dance offs on a Friday night, ha so rock n roll. Join us on IGTV for the tour and see below to get the look.
