Typically, gin & tonic is not my drink of choice. I usually go for drinks that have lots of fruity flavor and contain vodka, rum or tequila.

To satisfy my taste buds, I decided to fancy-up the traditional gin & tonic recipe and make this Simple Strawberry Mint Gin & Tonic cocktail! I got the idea for this flavor combo after planting a few herbs over the weekend! Yep, that’s right! I’ve started growing my own herbs!

So far, I’ve planted rosemary, lavender, thyme, basil, sage, and mint! The mint smelled sooo good and fresh, so I knew that I had to add it in my cocktail! And because strawberries and mint taste SO good together, I decided to add that in, along with a few fresh lemon slices, yum!

Simple Strawberry Mint Gin & Tonic

Start by gently muddling the strawberries, mint, simple syrup and gin.  I say gently, because you don’t want to bruise the mint! Gently muddling releases the essential oils and gives amazing flavor to the cocktail!
