I developed this frozen G&T recipe for Leon's Oyster Shop in Charleston, South Carolina. I just find it an incredibly refreshing, fun, and delicious take on the classic gin and tonic. Note that you need to use tonic syrup, not tonic water, in this drink. The syrup is a concentrated form of tonic; tonic water would add too much dilution and not enough flavor to this frosty cocktail. Feel free to double this recipe to make a 2-drink batch.
Looking for more frozen drinks? Check out our frozen Moscow Mule, frozen amaretto sour, and more.
Flavor will vary depending on your choice of tonic syrup and gin; feel free to add a squeeze of lime if desired. On a hot day, your drink will stay frozen longer if you start with chilled gin. (Adding additional ice will dilute the drink's flavors.)
