If you think the Honey Ginger Gin and Tonic will be a liquid cough drop, you are mistaken. This s**t is perfect if you happen to love soft, subtle flavors, like honey, lemon, and ginger. And can you ever go wrong with a G & T? Absolutely NOT!

Honey Ginger Gin and Tonic with ingredients — SO DELICIOUS AND SOFT!

For this beaut, we used a simple London Dry. The honey flavors were just enough to discern them from the rest of what’s going on. If you truly LOVE honey flavors, try making this with a gin that highlights honey. Barr Hill, in Vermont, makes one, so does Tamworth Distilling in neighboring New Hampshire.

Some notes on the Honey Ginger Gin and Tonic.

Go NUTS with your ginger liqueur, like Domaine de Canton, if you love ginger flavors. This recipe really strives to be super light, with hints of ginger. Adding the ginger candy absolutely makes a difference. If you are a ginger fanatic, add more! The two bar spoons of ginger liqueur are roughly equivalent to less than 1/4 of an ounce.

Same with the honey! For more of a honey pop, pump up the honey syrup. Or use one of those honey gins! Or both!
