‘Tis the season to be Jolly.. or dealing with In-laws or teenagers who think parents suck (I have one, who has told me “I hate you, mom.” and then give me the silent treatment lol) – so here is a drink to calm us adults nerves down and it is yummy! This drink is called -“The Christmas Tree Gin & Tonic Mixology Drink Recipe” Very easy to make!
Why We Like It
When I first tasted a gin and tonic, I immediately thought of a Christmas tree. At the time, it wasn’t a good thing; I was very young, and hadn’t quite learned to appreciate the juniper notes of the gin and effervescence of the tonic. I love the drink, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still think of a Christmas tree every time I have one. And it’s a good thing. This cocktail celebrates the piney essence of a gin and tonic with a festive pop of peppermint. Plus, it’s really simple: it’s just a gin and tonic garnished with a candy cane instead of a lime. As you sip it, the candy cane dissolves, adding a refreshing minty flavor to the drink.
