I spent this past independence day weekend up at my family's camp in Maine. To me the 4th is the thing that most says "summer is surely here", and what better way to celebrate than with that quintessential summer drink the gin & tonic? Not content, however, to simply top some gin on the rocks with tonic water, I came up with what I suppose I'll call...
Gin & Tonic Royale (..ha ha ha....)
2 oz. gin
4 oz. tonic water
dash orange bitters
lime wedge
clementine or orange wedge
Cut the lime and clementine wedges in half and muddle in a double old fashioned glass. You can either leave the spent fruit wedges in or remove them at this point. Fill glass with cracked ice and add gin and orange bitters. Stir a bit and add tonic water. Stir once more and serve with two sip straws. I guarantee this will taste a bit more special than your typical G&T.
