What's a simple syrup?
When making simple syrup infuse with a earl grey tea bag or even chamomile, then make gin tonic as recipe.
This is Perfect with No simple syrup actually, just 3-4 dashes Orange bitters(Regan's)
A tasty twist on a traditional gin and tonic is a lilac gin and tonic. I found the recipe by Maya Wilson in the Anchorage Daily News years ago and make it every year. I had to suspend my taste for a traditional gin and tonic, as this calls for lemon rather than lime. A simple syrup made from lilac blossoms (and a couple blackberries, which give it the lovely color when pressing through a sieve that the simmered sugar-water is poured through) make this so special - only when lilacs bloom!
How the heck does one achieve decent citrus twists for garnish such as pictured in this recipe? I would love to serve with such a grand corkscrew ribbon twist like this.
Excellent. I used a dehydrated orange slice. Nice and refreshing
