Spanish Gin Tonic (Gin Tonic Español)

Delightful. Gin and tonic is one of my favorite drinks. In fact, I keep a small bottle of gin in the freezer. I also have a ready supply of lime juice, which I squeeze (Breville Juicer) and freeze myself in quantity, when I can purchase a few hundred limes (case quantity) inexpensively.

For this recipe, I used what I had ready at hand. I had no pink peppercorns, or chamomile flowers, and the juniper berries, which I do have, are old. No matter, I placed a balloon glass in the freezer a few hours before, and made the drink.

I make my tonic on the go as I have a ready supply of carbonated water and SodaStream tonic syrup. Though I do have basil and thyme growing in pots, I forgot to add any of them. All the more reason, to lay in a fresh supply of juniper berries and pink peppercorns and have another go, eh?

This is how I make my G & T! I add a sprig of rosemary, some star anise, juniper berries. lemon and lime. I have not tried the red peppercorn! I will tell you that everyone says my G & Ts taste phenomenal and are soooooo pretty in the glass...and yes, I serve it in a large Copa glass....perfect summer libation.

So floral. It is delish.
