The good thing about gin and tonics and that the base of the drink is
already there: gin, and tonic. You can add pretty much anything you want
to this drink and it will be yummy. I add raspberries a lot, sometimes
blueberries or basil, and sometimes-just mint. Whatever I have extra of
really. This however has been by far my favorite flavor collaboration. I
hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!
