INSTRUCTIONS
POMEGRANATE AND ORANGE BLOSSOM GIN AND TONIC
Chill the Glass: Begin by chilling a highball glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit for a minute before discarding the water and ice.
Prepare the Fruit: Gently wash the orange and slice it into thin rounds. Separate a few pomegranate seeds for garnish.
Assemble the Drink: Fill the chilled glass with ice cubes. Add the Pomegranate and Orange Gin over the ice.
Add Tonic Water: Slowly pour the tonic water into the glass. The amount of tonic can be adjusted based on how strong or light you prefer your drink. Pouring it slowly and against the glass (or using a spoon) helps to retain the tonic's effervescence.
Garnish: Carefully place the orange slices into the glass, allowing them to float or gently pushing them into the ice. Sprinkle a few pomegranate seeds on top. For an aromatic touch, add a sprig of fresh rosemary or mint, which complements both the pomegranate and orange flavors.
Serve: Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the flavors, being careful not to disrupt the carbonation too much. Serve immediately, allowing the aroma of the garnishes to enhance the drinking experience.
This recipe is designed to accentuate the unique flavors of your handcrafted Pomegranate and Orange Gin, with the citrusy sweetness of the orange, the tart burst of pomegranate seeds, and the herbal touch harmonizing beautifully with the gin's profile. Enjoy this refreshing and visually appealing drink on a warm day or as a special treat to uplift your spirits.
