- Reposted by HollieMerry Christmas, Bluesky! I'm celebrating by gifting cocktail recipes. Reply or repost with an inspiration for me - an ingredient you don't know what to do with, classic you want a riff on, food you want to pair with, mood, occasion, or etc and I'll give you a recipe! Zero-proof/NA cocktails too. 🍸
- I’d love to see more niche, premium print publications make it easier for journalists to request sample articles. We can’t pitch you well unless we can read some of the stuff you publish! #journalism #writing
- Had a lovely time in Mexico last week.
- Made my first bijou, forgot to photograph it, anyway it was delicious. #cocktails
- Recently I looked into craft white #whiskey. This was an interesting one to research and write. www.spiritsanddistilling.com/beyond-moons...
- Reposted by HollieAnother new award for this year - Best Beer Publisher 🏆 Winner: Pellicle Magazine #BGBW25
- Made a cocktail with fresh blood orange juice. Delicious but my countertop got a little messy!
- This is a fun piece! It got me thinking that one thing I actually enjoy seeing much less of outside of the UK is the rounds system. While it’s a lovely thing in theory, I’ve found that without it, it’s much easier to choose precisely what and how much to drink, and when to leave.

- This was a pretty good end of hike view.
- Today an American asked me how crumpets are different from English muffins and I was at a loss to talk through the distinctions of these vastly different but both excellent bread products.
- Reposted by HollieIf you have pet food or supplies you no longer need or can afford to buy some extra to donate to food banks, unpaid workers & those who rely on SNAP benefits are going to need help. For some recipients those animal companions are emotional support animals or maybe even service dogs. #LendAPaw
- Found a local brewery with Lukr taps
- I’m loving baked tofu recently and I’m in the market for new marinade ideas. Any thoughts, anyone? #vegetarian #vegan #healthy #food
- Ok, this is officially taking fall too far.
- From yesterday’s hike
- Reposted by HollieLibraries and post offices should merge, and there should be a coffee shop. Pick up your pension, get a book, have a coffee with friends. Cut overheads for everyone, reduce loneliness, and save libraries and post offices.
- Has anyone else seen a lot of bunnies around this year? 🐰
- Between breweries, I fell in love with this building.
- Had a fun time exploring Madison’s beer scene yesterday
- Enjoyed a few cans of this yesterday.
- Relatable!
- Reposted by HollieI found where your ex shops.
- I keep forgetting to post. Working on getting better at that. Here are a few highlights from summer so far:
- Reposted by HollieRemembering Martyn Cornell, a beer writing and beer history heavyweight.
- Starting the weekend early.
- Good morning Digby
- Getting into the mountains always feels good
- I just cleared space for a glut of books that have been gathering messily around the house without proper homes, and made my husband a short video showing where to find everything. This might be the most romantic thing I’ve ever done.
- I have an addictive new hobby. Maybe one day I’ll actually sound good if I work at it hard enough!
- I’ve been loving El Guapo bitters recently. A few dashes of this was perfect in a Dark & Stormy.
- I’ve been reading this for the past couple of weeks. Very engaging. #books
- Reposted by HollieShoutout to the Los Angeles Times reporters who are doing essential journalism under very difficult circumstances. They’ve dropped their paywall, but their ongoing coverage is a good reminder of why local newsrooms need support — and what we lose when those outlets are hollowed out.
- Reposted by HollieSoCal friends: Many animal shelters are overwhelmed from people dropping off beloved pets they can't take with them as they flee. Please consider donating and fostering. Pasadena Humane is one such org. Contact your local animal orgs to see if they need help. pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon...
- In Rome and the food is very good.

- Reposted by HollieYou can be really rich, it’s fine. But there is no ethical way to be a billionaire. Their existence threatens the social order. They can fuck with elections, foreign policy, they do a far greater share of harm to the environment. We can’t allow that level of wealth to exist.
- Today’s dinner
- Making potato and leek soup
- Digby says hello
- Had a good long weekend filled with friends, cheese, pumpkin pie, and naps. 10/10.
- Good luck to everyone up for a @britbeerwriters.bsky.social award tonight! 🤞🏻🍻
- Reposted by HollieOkay, I'm curious now. There's a lot of drinks writers/experts/people who make a living from talking about drinks on here, and there's a lot of folks who just like drinking it. So, the question for everyone is: What's your favourite cocktail?
- Reposted by HollieThe painted skulls of Hallstatt in Austria
- It’s that magical time again.
