Garden Gin and Tonic Recipe
Make the most out of summer with this garden gin and tonic! Featuring a medley of fresh herbs, lively burst of citrus and a bubbly finish, this gin and tonic is the ultimate refreshing sipper you need this summer.
How to Make the Best Garden Gin and Tonic
This refreshing garden gin and tonic is the perfect summer cocktail, combining the botanical notes of gin with fresh herbs straight from the garden. The medley of rosemary, basil, and thyme creates a sophisticated and aromatic drink that’s far more interesting than a standard gin and tonic.
The beauty of this cocktail lies in its simplicity and the quality of its ingredients. By muddling fresh herbs and lime juice together, you extract their essential oils and flavors, creating a more complex and herbaceous base than you’d get with pre-mixed ingredients. The light touch of muddling is key—you want to gently bruise the herbs to release their flavors without shredding them into bitter fragments.
Perfect for garden parties, summer evenings on the porch, or whenever you want to impress guests with a sophisticated yet easy-to-make cocktail. The versatility of tonic water means you can use your favorite brand or flavored variety to customize the drink to your taste.
