What's better than a delicious, chilled cocktail for an aperitif? Make the iconic Gin Tonic yourself at home: a refreshing cocktail where the bitterness of quinine combines wonderfully with the acidity of lemon and gin. And to give it even more pep, we add a few lemon peels and peppercorns, obviously to be enjoyed in moderation :-) Cheers!

FAQ ❓

Can you replace the lemon peel in a Gin Tonic?

You can definitely make a cucumber version, for example. In fact, the cucumber will reduce the bitterness of the tonic to reveal all the aromas of the gin!

Can you replace the tonic water?

You can replace it with lemonade or lemon soda.

What can you add to garnish a Gin Tonic?

For a fresher note, you can add lemon slices directly to the cocktail, along with mint leaves, for example. You can also replace the pepper with juniper berries.
