Grains of Paradise – Gin and Lust in The Gap between Christmas and New Year
I drank him in, his eyes the blue of blackest opals.
I breathed him in and then I sipped my gin.
I tasted him, his honeyed spice upon my tongue before I kissed him.
Flushed with the icy warmth of juniper,
My hungry lips upon his sandalwooded skin.

Grains of paradise are tiny seeds from Africa, added to some gins to give depth to the flavour and taste of pepper, coriander, ginger & cardamom with a hint of citrus.
