Notes
A few tips to keep in mind:
Experiment with the gin you choose. Different brands can change the flavor profile.
Simple syrup is easy to make at home by dissolving equal parts of sugar and water over heat.
If you like things a bit sweeter, add some extra syrup. Likewise, more lemon juice adds tartness. Your feedback is always welcome. Share your thoughts or any fun tweaks you tried! 😄
