Spicy Tomato Gin and Tonics
I’m taking things out of the box a bit, with these Spicy Tomato Gin and Tonics. These G&T’s are the perfect balance of gin, heat, tonic, and overall packed with great flavor. The perfect summer drink to refresh by the pool or out on your porch or backyard. It’s a great batch cocktail to whip up and take to parties as well.
