Every sip of this delightful G&T is full of the floral, zesty delights of British summertime. Using our June 2020 Gin of the Month, Dartmouth English Gin, which we sent out members in their June 2020 Gin of the Month box, it’s a real seaside treat!
A classic London dry, Dartmouth English Gin works wonderfully with Lixir’s Elderflower & Lemon tonic water to make a G&T that’s so fresh, fragrant and aromatic. In each sip, the bright citrus and juniper notes of the gin entwine majestically with the vibrant lemon tang and delectably floral elderflower aromas of the tonic water. The lime and cardamom garnishes then add a rich layering of spice and green citrus tones that make for a truly delectable drinking experience.
The Perfect Dartmouth English Gin G&T!
50ml Dartmouth English Gin
200ml Lixir Elderflower & Lemon Tonic Water
lime and cardamom, to garnish (available on our online shop, just follow the link to find those!)
Fill a Copa glass with ice (we use the amazing super cubes from The Ice Co.) Add your gin, then top up with tonic. Garnish and serve.
This recipe also works wonderfully with Lixir’s Blood Orange & Cinnamon and Rhubarb & Ginger tonic waters. If using the Blood Orange & Cinnamon edition then we recommend swapping the lime and cardamom garnishes for a slice of orange and a cinnamon stick. For the Rhubarb & Ginger edition, we recommend using a fresh lime wedge or fresh raspberries to garnish.
You can top up your Lixir Elderflower & Lemon, Blood Orange & Cinnamon and Rhubarb & Ginger supply in our online shop while stocks last. There, you can also find their fantastically refreshing light tonic water. Their amazing tonic waters are incredible in these two cocktails:
