Home-made Summer Fruits Rum

I love the idea of creating your own flavoured liquor. Our good Martin brews his own wine and develops his own flavoured gins and, in this case … rum.

(I have to admit, I am still baffled by this illustration myself!

Picture this! We’d been invited to Martin and Michelle’s for a party; much wine was drunk and then the move was made to various flavours of Martin’s home brew wines and liquors.

A heady mix of alcohol and then a stagger to bed … when I woke, which was early, I was the only one awake.

So, I drew this flavoured rum which Martin had been toting around!

I have to admit it was partly because of the stoppered, tap bottle (Which I have not been able to source anywhere!)

But the fact is, that this mysterious illustration was the morning after A Night Before!

I’m still baffled by how I managed to pull this off! Combining fineline ink, biro and watercolour …. and all before breakfast!

Somedays, I guess we’re just on fire!
