Garden Tonic Recipe

Servings: 1
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 24 hours

Ingredients

for the vodka:
10 ounces|283 ml vodka
1 ¾ ounce|50 grams mixed herbs (we used a mix of thyme, anise hyssop, spring onions)

for the cocktail:
¾ ounce|20 ml honey
2 ounces|60 ml garden vodka
1 ounce|30 ml fresh lemon juice
tonic water, to top
lemon peel and flower, to garnish

Directions

  1. Make the vodka: If using an ISI, add the vodka and herbs to it. Shake for 1 minute, then release out all the nitrogen. Release all of the vodka, then strain out all of the herbs. If you're not using an ISI, add vodka and herbs into a large jar and cover. Allow to infuse for at least 24 hours before straining.
  2. Make the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, lemon juice, honey, and ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a collins glass filled with ice and top with tonic. Garnish with the lemon peel and flower.
