Tips

👉 Storage: Best served fresh, but the base mix (without tonic water) can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Add tonic water just before serving to maintain fizz.

👉 Serving: Use tall glasses with extra ice for a refreshing presentation. Add edible flowers for an extra floral touch!

👉 Substitutions: For a non-alcoholic version, replace gin with a non-alcoholic gin alternative and use elderflower cordial. Swap rose syrup with grenadine for a fruitier twist.

👉 Juice Tip: Strain grapefruit juice after squeezing to remove pulp for a smoother cocktail.
