Sunny and aromatic, the Mediterranean Gin Tonic puts a fresh spin on a timeless classic with an unapologetically Southern signature. Here, Gin meets our Mediterranean Tonic Water — basil, thyme, rosemary — for a cocktail that captures the very essence of the garrigue.
Clap the basil leaves in the palm of your hand before adding them — their aromas will come through fully.
Want to look like a pro? Cut a rectangle of lemon peel and wrap it around a spoon to create a twist that’s as beautiful as it is fragrant!
A balloon glass is the perfect choice. Large and wide-rimmed, its shape preserves the bubbles longer, lets the aromas open up and allows for a generous amount of ice. No balloon glass on hand? A large wine glass or a Spritz glass will work just fine.
A Mediterranean Gin Tonic calls for a Provençal apéro — and nothing embodies that better than a beautifully fresh burrata, drizzled with olive oil and basil. Add marinated olives, cherry tomatoes and goat's cheese toasts to complete the picture perfectly.
In this Mediterranean Gin Tonic, it's all about harmony. The Gin lays the foundation — juniper, vegetal notes. The Hysope Mediterranean Tonic Water does the rest: basil, rosemary, thyme, freshness and Provençal bitterness in perfect balance. The lemon awakens, the basil signs off.
