Gin and Tonic Shots

The tart and herbaceous flavors of a classic gin and tonic are balanced with the sweetness of mixed berries in these gorgeous purple Mixed Berry Gin & Tonic cocktail shots!

The Gin & Tonic cocktail is another classic that I have been wanting to do a riff on.

If you have been following along this month, you have seen my other recipes for classics that I have made into shots like the Bloody Mary, the Sidecar, and the Paloma.

The Gin & Tonic is the natural choice for the next one! Here is what I did!

Ingredients Needed

• gin
• tonic water
• mixed berry puree
• lemon zest
• granulated sugar for rimming glasses

Two of the most popular brands are Bombay Sapphire, which should be served with lime, and Hendricks that should be served with a cucumber.

I threw out these rules and served Bombay Sapphire Gin with berries and *GASP* lemon.

How to Make Gin and Tonic Shots

First: Make your rimming sugar by mixing a small amount of sugar, roughly 2 tablespoons, with 1 tablespoon lemon zest.

Second: Make the berry puree by mixing 1/2 cup berries, frozen or fresh, with 1/2 cup water. Blend until combined and all large chucks are gone. Mix the gin and mixed berry puree in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to combine.

Third: Add the tonic water and stir. Tonic is carbonated and shaking is not advised:) Rub a small section of the shot glass with lemon juice

Fourth: Dip the glass in the lemon sugar to get a small amount to stick. Strain the gin and tonic mixture into the shot glasses. Enjoy!
