How to Make it a Gin and Tonic with Syrup
If you're specifically craving a gin-driven moment, simply swap the vodka for 2 oz of your favorite gin. The botanicals in gin pair beautifully with the citrus-forward profile of our tonic syrup and complement the herbal lift from the chlorophyll. It’s a more aromatic, complex take on a gin and tonic made even better with the control and nuance that tonic syrup brings.
