Description

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
  • ¼ preserved lemon
  • 2 fluid ounces gin
  • 2 cups ice cubes, or as needed
  • 4 fluid ounces tonic water (such as Fever Tree)
  • 1 small sprig fresh rosemary
Directions
  1. 1. Remove 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.
  2. 2. 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.
  3. 3. Fill a rocks glass with ice and strain cocktail over the ice. Top with tonic water. Garnish with lemon sliver and rosemary sprig.
