Weekend! To celebrate this, we start with a delicious classic - yet trendy - summer drink .... Gin & Tonic.
Like water, you can drink this delicious cocktail with aromatic supplements like fruit and herbs. The good news is that gin is healthy for you. Gin was already a drug (anti-malaria, anti-inflammatory), before it was used for consumption. g (such as anti-malarial and anti-inflammatory), before it was used for consumption. Additionally gin is good for your bones and helps against arthritis. Gin also improves your skin and digestion. Gin is exclusively made from natural ingredients and contains few calories (compared with beer, wine, etc.).
So what are we waiting for? Therefore, choose from the following recipes...
Gin & Tonic with cucumber and rosemary
Ingredients
- gin
- tonic
- cucumber
- a sprig of rosemary
- ice cubes
Preparation
Cut the cucumber into thin slices.. Put some ice cubes and two or three slices of cucumber in a (highball) glass. Then pour 1 part of gin and 3 parts of tonic on it. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
You can also vary with mint/basil and lime, or cucumber and lime. Just how you prefer your Gin & Tonic.
You don't want tonic in the gin? Then make a Gimlet.
Gimlet
Ingredients
- gin
- fresh lime juice
- slice of lime
Preparation
Use cocktail glass (or half-height glass). Then pour 3/4 part gin and 1/4 part lime juice in the glass. Stir well. Put the lime wedge on the rim of your glass as a garnish.
This variant is stronger than a Gin and Tonic. So add some crushed ice or ice cubes to your Gimlet if you want it less strong.
Do you prefer a sweet cocktail? Then go for a Blueberry-gin. The sweet taste of the blueberries combines perfectly with gin. Blueberries are also very healthy. So you have a win/win situation.
Ingredients- gin
- blueberry-/blueberry juice
- sprig of mint and/or blueberries
Preparation
Follow the recipe of the Gimlet, but replace the lime juice blueberrysap. Garnish with mint(leaves) and/or blueberries.
Cheers!
Have a great weekend.
