I seldom post recipes on this blog. Although I cook quite a bit, it’s rarely anything to shout about, let alone write about.

If those three words don’t fill you with anticipation – they should.
Parma Violet Aviation
When I read about Iceland’s avalanche of sweet-based ice-creams on Kev’s Snack Reviews, it wasn’t long before both Anglo Bubbly and Parma Violet Ice Lollies were in the house.
While the Anglo Bubbly ones were actual ice-creams, I was disappointed that the Parma Violet ones were lollies. I’d been imagining rich, creamy, violetty goodness, and instead it was a frozen syrup stick.
Unimpressed by the medium but appreciating the taste, I decided to repurpose two lollies in a version of possibly my favourite cocktail, an Aviation.
Rhubarb, Rhubarb, Rhubarb
To me, rhubarb is a very “British” flavour. From the “Rhubarb Triangle” to crumble, it’s definitely something I associate with the UK.
That said, we really kinda suck at it.
The number of purported rhubarb items that actually taste little to nothing LIKE rhubarb seems infinite. The ever-growing catalogue of rhubarb gins is a great example. I’m not saying they’re bad, just that I’ve yet to have one that actually tastes like rhubarb.
Our sodas aren’t much better.
What’s in the Box?
I regularly visit Kev’s Snack Reviews to see what’s new in the snack world.
Last summer I read about the Snack Surprise subscription box, and given the impossibility of going anywhere, decided to let the treats come to me.
