This was great! I’m not a big fan of gin, but this was light & tasty. We’ll use it for our 1920s party!
This was a really good drink with far less calories that my typical gin and tonic. It’s not as sweet (although, I only used a large pinch of sugar), and you really need a good gin – but I enjoyed it.
It’s my kind of drink so I’m biased, but I loved it. Got sick of the taste and calories from gin and tonics so gave this a try and really enjoyed it. The photo is of a martini glass version, but this really needs to be a bigger, highball glass kind of drink because trust me, you’ll want more! I make something similar with gin, a squeeze of bottled key lime juice and diet citrus soda, but this was really very good. Thanks for posting Grosbach!
Lower cal version 2oz gin juice of one lime club soda…filled highball glass with ice pour in gin and squeeze in lime top with club soda….won’t be as sweet as original but only cals are from the gin…use more lime if need more flavor
