Notes

  • *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
  • To be honest, for this cocktail I just chuck everything in the glass and give it a bit of a swirl then add the tonic and drink! You could get all fancy and shake it up in a cocktail shaker if you have one (I don't).
  • No Cointreau? Use Triple Sec or Grand Marnier instead.
  • I have garnished these drinks with a slice of lime on the glass itself as well as a lime wheel on the rim.
  • You can get super fancy and salt the rims of the glasses. I have included instructions for this in the post above.
  • I also like a really cold cocktail, so I like to chill the gin too.
