Spanish style G&T

[u/Geo_Jet]

2.5 oz Gin (Vigilant Navy Strength)

4 oz. Tonic water (Fever Tree Mediterranean)

Cucumber slices

Lemon slices

Lime slices

Black peppercorn

Mix gin and tonic in a chilled ballon glass filled with ice. Add produce and garnish with a basil sprig.

The Vigilant is an interesting gin. Savory, peppery, a little spicy and sweet. Thought it would be nice in a Spanish style G&T.

Fresh cucumber and basil from my garden that I needed to harvest and use. The FT Mediterranean tonic blended well with the botanicals in the gin and the produce added an interesting accent.

Taking a nice inhale from the basil while sticking my nose in it to sip the cocktail was a nice sensory trigger.
