Notes

If you don’t know gin well, I’d speak with someone at your local liquor store who’s knowledgeable to help you choose a bottle.

That said, it’s important that you don’t to purchase a bottom shelf bottle of gin because you taste the gin in this drink and obviously, we want it to taste good. Can I make this into a pitcher drink?
Yes! To make a pitcher that serves six, use the following:
