| Lavender Gin & Tonic: The perfect way to cool down on hot summer nights. |

| Gin, gin, ginny gin gin :) |
Did you know that June 13th was World Gin Day? I know – it sneaks up on me every year, too! I celebrated this auspicious day with some of my friends. We all brought a selection of gins, tonics, bitters, and other add-ins, and shared some cocktails, good food, and laughter.
My favourite Gin & Tonic of the evening was a Lavender Gin & Tonic, make with Lavender Simple Syrup and this gin from Ampersand Distilling Co. on Vancouver Island, BC. It would also be great with Bombay Sapphire gin. The tonic I used was Indian Tonic from Fever Tree. The lavender really brought out the floral and citrus botanicals in the gin.
Try this Gin & Tonic and let me know what you think – if you come up with something interesting, post it in the comments. Enjoy!

Such a tasty cocktail I have tried after ages. Thanks for the recipe and share some different smoothies too that have crushed ice on them.
