Wimbledon Strawberry and Mint Gin & Tonic

What better way to celebrate the start of Wimbledon than with a delicious summery cocktail. This light and refreshing G&T is perfect for your spring-summer menus.

Using Lakes Distillery grapefruit gin for a refreshing flavour, yuzu juice for a citrus note and Giffard strawberry syrup for an added sweetness, this cocktail is deliciously balanced. For a fun twist, we have created a lemon peel ‘tennis ball’ ice cube to really wow your guests! And what Wimbledon drink would be complete without a strawberry garnish. This drink is a true ace!
