Sister Sips No. 4 | Out of Africa
Out of Africa
We’re back with another Sister Sips. It’s been sunny and hot here in Connecticut, so we’ve been making a classic Gin drink, The Out Of Africa. It pairs well with a sunny day in the backyard!
Picture a sunny afternoon, where the world slows down to the lazy hum of cicadas and the gentle sway of hammocks. In this idyllic scene, a Gin and Tonic becomes the embodiment of summer itself—crystal-clear and cool, like a dip in a mountain stream. The gin, infused with botanical secrets, frolics with the tonic water, creating a refreshing symphony of bubbles. Ice cubes clink merrily, keeping the concoction perfectly chilled as laughter floats on the warm breeze. A sprig of fresh mint nestles against the glass, releasing its fragrant whispers of herbaceous delight.
With every sip, citrus notes dance on the tongue, echoing the zest of sun-kissed days. The Out of Africa isn't just a drink; it's a sip of summer's essence, capturing the carefree spirit and delicious moments of the season. Here’s how you can craft this refreshing drink at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Gin
- 4 oz Tonic Water
- Garnish with Lime
Instructions:
- Combine the gin and tonic water.
- Stir the ingredients until well-chilled.
- Garnish with a lime, and stir in some extra lime juice for a more citrusy flavor.
