Right now, I’m writing about my latest meal and drinks down at Milford Marina with Mum and Jo. It’s Day 17 of Blogtober 2022 and at present’s immediate is favorite drinks. I assumed this may be a superb time to share this beautiful night as I loved one among my new favorite drinks on the finish of the night. Are you able to guess what it’s? Learn on to see if you’re proper:
Meal at Martha’s Winery, Milford Marina
First, we went for a meal at Martha’s Winery. We used to return right here each Friday to satisfy Dave for a drink after work- these had been the times! Then we had extra children, they usually all bought older! These days, I take Caitlyn to County soccer coaching each week as a substitute! For this evening, her superb coach gave her a elevate to and from coaching so I might exit with Mum and Jo (thanks!).
It was a troublesome weekend for us because it marked the anniversary of our shedding our dad (and husband in mum’s case). So it was good to get out of the home and to be collectively right now (we missed Ceri, in Newport, after all).
Vegan Burger at Martha’s Winery, Milford Marina
On their new autumn and winter dinner menu, the vegan essential decisions are Roasted Winter Squash Risotto or Past Meat with smoked vegan cheese, beer-braised onions, child gem, tomato, chips, onion rings and coleslaw. Throughout our go to, the vegan burger was falafel. I’m not the most important fan of falafel however the burger, onion rings and chips had been very tasty. Jo had the identical and agreed. To drink we had a bottle of prosecco to share as traditional.

The service was nice and we had a stunning time. Cheers everybody!
After our meal and drink, we loved the view of Milford Marina at evening. It will likely be even prettier in a couple of weeks when boat house owners begin placing up twinkly Christmas lights.
Drinks at Ty Milford Waterfront
Subsequent, we went for drinks on the “new lodge” (I ponder how lengthy we’ll maintain calling it that?). It was Jo’s first time and mum hadn’t been there since she got here to the sneak preview with me (you’ll be able to see our sneak peek of Ty Milford Waterfront right here). Dave and I stayed at Ty Milford Waterfront in July.
So, it was good to be at Ty Milford Waterfront once more. We had a heat welcome right here and love the nice and cozy atmosphere of the glowing lights on the desk. In fact, I needed to present mum and Jo how the colors change, however after I did this, I couldn’t get the sunshine again to the unique color! Oops!
Right here we loved extra prosecco and many laughs collectively.
Gin at Ty Milford Waterfront
Lastly, for our evening cap, we had one thing a little bit bit stronger. Jo and mum loved a gin.
I can’t keep in mind precisely which gin drinks they’d now however they appeared very refreshing.
Barti and Ginger Beer
I’d normally have had a gin too however one thing totally different on the drinks menu caught my eye- Barti Spiced Rum! This can be a spiced spirit drink with Caribbean rum, infused with Pembrokeshire seaweed. As you’ve most likely already guessed, it’s named after Barti Ddu, Pembrokeshire’s personal pirate. Dave enjoys it and has a few bottles, gifted by prospects, down at work and at house. I keep in mind at one among his works dos all of us loved it with ice and a slice (of orange). Then in the course of the lockdown, I’d purchased Dave some for his birthday. As he wasn’t dwelling with us on the time (to maintain Danny secure whereas he was shielding) we sat out within the backyard at a distance from one another each ingesting Barti and Ginger Beer over ice. I actually loved it however haven’t considered ingesting it since.
Considered one of My new Favorite Drinks
So, I’ll say that Barti Spiced Rum with Ginger Beer is one among my new favorite alcoholic drinks! Clearly, I received’t be ingesting it daily- as sadly, I’m a driving, working mum, not a pirate! However I’ll undoubtedly deal with myself to this drink every so often, particularly throughout autumn and winter- the spices and ginger make it a really warming drink! Maybe, when the climate actually cools, I’ll have it warmed as a sizzling toddy however we’ll see as I’m not eager on sizzling alcoholic drinks (I can’t stand mulled wine! Bah humbug!).
About Barti Spiced Rum
“Spiced spirit drink with Caribbean rum, infused with Pembrokeshire seaweed.
Barti Spiced Rum is our prized, most treasured creation. We wished to make a drink extra easy, extra filled with flavour and extra memorable than some other. Fairly merely to create one of the best spiced rum on this planet.
It took a yr to good the stability between vibrant vanilla, clove, cinnamon and candy citrus. Then got here the infusion of untamed hand-picked laver seaweed from the Pembrokeshire coast introducing umami undertones which soften and improve the style. All the parts are married collectively throughout the most interesting, most expertly made Caribbean rum, to create an undeniably easy but completely punchy drink appropriate for sipping or mixing.
We imagine now we have a drink so flavourful when blended, and so pure and sippable when neat, that if you attempt it for the primary time it feels such as you’ve discovered the one.
At 35% ABV, Barti is about as mellow as a Sunday morning. Appropriate for vegans. Take pleasure in.”
