This apple cider gin & tonic is light, refreshing and cool and crisp! It has everything from sweet apple cider, to a simple syrup made with star anise and cinnamon sticks. I used Jaisalmer Gin for this cocktail because it has notes of cardamom and sweet orange peel, which are perfect for this drink! It blends in beautifully with the other ingredients, ensuring you the smoothest, bubbly gin & tonic you’ve ever had!
