Notes

A few tips to enhance your cocktail:

For a sweeter touch, use apple slices soaked in honey.
Adjust the tonic to match your taste; more for lighter flavors, less for stronger.
Consider adding a dash of Angostura bitters for extra depth.
Experiment with flavored gins like apple or cinnamon for variety.
