Summertime.

It is hot and muggy.

There is no better summertime drink than the gin and tonic. Hear me out. I know what you are thinking. Gin? You have to get over your college experience of drinking to excess horrible, poorly made gin that has scared you up until now

Here are your supplies:

• Empress 1908 Gin
• Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic Water
• Grapefruit (optional)
• Tall Glass
• Ice

Recipe:

1 part Gin

2 parts Tonic Water

½ or ¼ of a grapefruit

If you are going with the grapefruit, squeeze the juice of it into your glass and then muddle it and put the fruit in there too. 

Add your gin and tonic water and watch the change in colors happen.

Stir well and then add your ice and stir again for 25-30 seconds.

Enjoy.
