A fun twist on a classic gin and tonic with elderflower tonic and rose water. You can find rose water at Whole Foods (usually) or any international/Middle Eastern markets. Sub vodka for gin if you prefer!

Serves: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
  • 4½ ounces elderflower tonic
  • 1½ ounces gin
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon rose water (depending on how floral you want it - I like ½ teaspoon!)
Instructions
  1. Fill a glass with ice. Gin and tonics are often solved in high ball glasses, but I find this fits perfectly into an [shorter] old-fashioned glass - unless you're making a double.
  2. Pour in the tonic then the gin, and finally, the rose water. Give it a good stir and enjoy!
Notes
I like a 3:1 ratio for tonic:gin. Follow these proportions if making more than one!
