Author Notes
Gin and tonic is a cocktail classic, and with a few small adjustments, it makes an excellent frozen sip. All the usual suspects are here: high-quality gin, like NOLET'S Silver; tonic water; and freshly squeezed lime juice. The addition of a lime-zest-infused simple syrup adds a bit of sweetness, but you can feel free to adjust the amount depending on your preference. If you want to boost the botanical aromas of the gin and bitter notes of the tonic water even further, add a few dashes of Angostura bitters. —Erin Alexander
