Private Notes
Comments
I prefer soda to tonic when I am using an interesting gin, like Hendricks. Tonic is such a powerful flavor, it overwhelms fancy gin.
How about a few drops of Angostura bitters...
I drink these weekly with Barr Hill Gin. I add a sprinkle of frozen berries to make it feel fancy.
Isn't this a Rickey? The provenance/history of that cocktail is lost here, for no reason I can see. Also, the traditional Rickey preparation of a lime "shell" (half a lime, squeezed out) dropped in is more whimsical and fun than the basic wedge...
A sprig of rosemary in a gin and soda or in a gin and tonic looks fancy and highlights the botanical flavor of good gin.
bonus, using seltzer makes this a carb free indulgence
