INGREDIENTS NOTES

Here’s everything you need to make this Gin and Strawberry cocktail. See the recipe card down below for exact measurements.

HOW TO MAKE GIN AND STRAWBERRY

In a small saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, and sliced strawberries. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes so the strawberries infuse their flavor. Remove from heat and strain to remove the fruit pieces.

Fill a glass with ice. Add gin, strawberry simple syrup, and lime juice.

Top with tonic water. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.

Garnish with a strawberry or a lime wedge if desired.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Allow the syrup to cool completely before using it in your cocktail. This not only preserves the fizz of your tonic but also enhances the overall balance of flavors.

• If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, reduce the amount of strawberry simple syrup slightly. Alternatively, add more lime juice for extra tartness.

• For parties, consider preparing a larger batch of the strawberry simple syrup ahead of time. You can mix a pre-batched cocktail (minus the tonic) and let guests top it off with tonic water as they serve themselves.

• Store any extra strawberry simple syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
