Happy Happy Friday!!! Jeez laweez y’all it’s almost the weekend woohoo! I really hope I’m not boring y’all with yet another take on my favorite cocktail in the whole world, the Gin and Tonic, but I obviously couldn’t help myself.
Technically, strawberries are not in season right now, and they’re looking & tasting a little less than awesome around this time of year, but I had some and figured why not throw them into my drink for some beautiful color and flavor?
Oh and in my opinion mint also goes so nicely with strawberries so I threw a little bit of that in too. This drink, like most G & T’s isn’t overly sweet (which I actually prefer in cocktails) but has a slight hint of strawberry and a slight hint of mint. This to me is very refreshing and light, and if that’s your thing too then I think you’ll really enjoy this. Have a fabulous day and weekend and thank you so much stopping by!
