How do you serve rosemary gin and tonic?
Gin and tonics are often served in a high glass glass or rocks glass. They are traditionally served over a large amount of ice and garnished with a slice of lime.
However, since this a twist on a classic. I often serve a rosemary gin and tonic with a different beautiful garnish.
Garnish a rosemary gin and tonic with:

- A sprig of candied rosemary
- With a slice of fresh grapefruit
Which citrus goes best with a rosemary gin and tonic?
Gin and tonic is traditionally garnished with a slice of lime, which is often squeezed into the drink before being placed into the cocktail. You can swap the lime for another citrus fruit of choice. I strongly recommend using grapefruit or orange. Both pair beautifully with rosemary syrup. If you love the combination as much as I do, try my grapefruit rosemary paloma cocktail
