The LOVELIEST Libation

Dear HF,

OMG, I love a Gin and Tonic. There's nothing more refreshing or soothing. LOL!

I recently stumbled upon this recipe for Gin and Tonic sorbet and like, got soooo excited! ROFL!

So I made it. And now I have the recipe perfected to my own standards. And OH MY, God, have you got to try this. Of course, I just needed to double the recipe and add more gin. That's sooo me, amiright!?

So HF, thanks againsies for this fab drinkie,

Amen.


RECIPE:

2 c. simple syrup
5 c. tonic water
1 c. lime juice
1 1/2 c. gin*

*I like New Amsterdam gin. It comes in a pretty bottle, is good quality and is pretty inexpensive.

So easy, just throw it all in your ice cream maker and freeze it. It takes a little longer than ice cream would, b/c of the alcohol and all, but it's well worth the wait.

You can also garnish with lime zest and/or a lime wedge. This only matters on the first round. After that, nobody will care.

  1. Ok so I must know how you normally make your gin and tonic. I tried it once and didn't care for it much... but I think my mixing skills were a bit off.

    Also, we've been enjoying these Watermelon Mojitos over the summer. Wow. So delicious!

    p.s. "You can also garnish with lime zest and/or a lime wedge. This only matters on the first round. After that, nobody will care." HA! So true :D

  2. Sounds tasty.

    BTW, my G&T recipe involves Hendricks gin and a splash of St. Germain. Yum!
