Yesssss, it’s that time of the year again! The time where we exchange the flavours of winter for the sunshiny flavours of spring. It’s officially the kick-off of gin tonic season and we can’t wait to sit down in the sunshine, a gin tonic in hand, and enjoy the cool spring breeze. If you haven’t had your first gin tonic of the season yet, this is your cue. Because is it even spring if you haven’t felt the bubbles of your gin tonic sparkling in your face? Of course not! Here are 3 gin tonics that are perfect for spring!

What’s a gin tonic?

A gin tonic is made with what it’s called: gin and tonic. It’s incredibly simple and even more tasty! But just because it’s simple doesn’t mean that there aren’t an endless amount of flavour combinations you can try. This time we chose our favourite gin tonics for spring.
