Today I've been lucky enough to be out and about meeting some of our lovely customers in Cheddar Gorge. It's a beautiful part of the country and it's on our doorstep.  The Original Cheddar Cheese Company is a family run business offering lovely cheeses and carefully selected local produce. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to be stocked in their shop! They've also included our Star Gift Bottles in their gorgeous hampers they have created. It really is a glorious place to visit, with mountain goats, cliffs and caves to explore. Unfortunately my photography (non) expertise doesn't spread to the mountain goats....

They're bundles of fun and do provide lots of laughter, but there's only so many times I can say "Don't lick...

If only I wasn't driving, I'd have been all over that.  However, it did inspire me to experiment here at Friary Drinks, with our own delicious Salted Caramel Liqueur, so I could give you guys an easy to follow recipe that will have your mouths watering. (You can thank me later).  Who doesn't love an Espresso Martini?? Both delicious, and sometimes necessary if you're having a loll during your night in. And with the added sumptuous taste of Salted...
