ABOUT
My partner told me to make him a pretty gin and tonic with a tropical twist. This is what I created. For this, I used a botanical gin and Giffard Caribbean Pineapple. Absinthe and gin make a lovely combo (hello Corpse Reviver No. 2). I wanted to bring some color, so I added a few drops of B’lure. Cheers y’all!
