Apple Cider Gin and Tonic

Apple Cider Gin and Tonic

This October has set the record for being the hottest October in documented history. No Joke. That being said it has been hard to get excited for warm cocktails when it is still pretty warm outside. Therefore, we thought it was time for a new twist on a traditional Gin and Tonic- an Apple Cider Gin and Tonic!

So, while we wait to make our mulled wine and warm rum apple ciders when the cool weather arrives.  Instead, we will have this amazing drink that’s refreshing but also eases one into the wonderful flavors of late October.  Give this Apple Cider Gin and Tonic a try.  Happy Autumn!
