Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Salty Lemon Gin Tonic.
Step 1
To start, grab a sharp knife and carefully remove the pulp from your preserved lemon, discarding it and keeping just the flavorful peel.
Step 2
Give the peel a gentle rinse under cool water to freshen it up.
Step 3
Next, slice a thin piece of the lemon peel and set it aside for a lovely garnish later.
Step 4
Now, let’s bring some magic to your cocktail! In a cocktail shaker, combine the lemon peel with a generous pour of gin.
Step 5
Take a moment to muddle the lemon peel gently; this will help release its vibrant flavors and aromas.
Step 6
Once you’ve done that, add a cup of ice to the shaker, cover it up, and shake it vigorously for about 15 to 20 seconds until everything is beautifully chilled.
Step 7
Grab a rocks glass and fill it with ice cubes, then strain the delightful cocktail mixture over the ice.
Step 8
To finish off this refreshing drink, top it with tonic water and give it a gentle stir to blend the flavors.
Step 9
Don’t forget to garnish with that reserved lemon sliver and a sprig of fresh rosemary for an aromatic touch.
Step 10
Enjoy your refreshing cocktail, and let the flavors transport you to a sunny afternoon!.
