Description
Frozen Gin & Tonic is a frosty, citrus-forward take on the classic cocktail — perfect for hot summer days. Blended with ice and lime juice, this slushie-style drink is crisp, zesty, and dangerously refreshing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 oz gin
- 2 oz tonic syrup (or 4 oz tonic water, reduced)
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup (optional)
- 2 cups ice
- Lime wheel and cucumber slice, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep Tonic: If using tonic water, reduce it by simmering ½ cup until concentrated to about ¼ cup. Let cool.
- Blend: Add gin, tonic syrup (or reduced tonic water), lime juice, simple syrup, and ice to a blender. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Adjust: Taste and adjust sweetness or lime as needed.
- Serve: Pour into a chilled glass and garnish with lime and cucumber. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use high-quality gin with citrus or herbaceous notes. For a lighter version, freeze tonic water into cubes and blend without syrup. Best served right away to keep the texture icy and light.
