Gin Shortbread

Gin Shortbread

Gin Shortbread, a chilled glass of Vaione South Pacific Gin and a sun lounger overlooking an azure blue sea well warmed by the heat of a hot summer’s day. Take a bite, then have a sip, then relax and close your eyes in the sun. This is what the good life is all about, island time.
