50ml Gin *Bombay Sapphire works best. Infused with sugar snap peas and mint
75ml Tonic water
Ingredients
Method
Fill your desired glass with cube ice. Add infused gin to the glass and top with tonic water. garnish
Garnish
Large mint sprig, slapped prior to adding to the glass to release more aroma. NB: at the point of serving you should inform your guests that this drink is based on aroma and thus not served with a straw. They should drink from the glass whilst nosing the mint.
