Recipe Summary Salty Lemon Gin And Tonic
Gin and tonics are one of my favorite cocktails, but I often like experimenting with different add-ins instead of the traditional lime wedge. The salt from the preserved lemon really brings out the natural botanical flavors in the gin.Ingredients | Gin Mojito MixΒΌ preserved lemon2 fluid ounces gin2 cups ice cubes, or as needed4 fluid ounces tonic water (such as Fever Tree)1 small sprig fresh rosemaryDirectionsRemove the pulp from the lemon with a sharp knife and discard, saving the peel. Lightly rinse peel with cool water. Slice off a thin sliver of peel and set aside for garnish.Combine lemon peel and gin in a shaker. Muddle lemon until slightly crushed. Add 1 cup ice to the shaker, cover, and shake until chilled, 15 to 20 seconds.Fill a rocks glass with ice and strain cocktail over the ice. Top with tonic water. Garnish with lemon sliver and rosemary sprig.Preserved lemons can be found in international markets and specialty grocers, but I prefer to make my own using Meyer lemons and one of the many recipes available online.For a slightly saltier flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of the lemon brine to the shaker. I like to add in a couple rosemary needles when muddling the lemon for a more robust taste.Info | Gin Mojito Mixprep:
