Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2-3 whole kumquats ((or other citrus* // thinly sliced))
1-2 Tbsp sweetener ((such as agave nectar, maple syrup, cane sugar, or honey if not vegan))
2 ounces dry gin ((4 Tbsp yields ~2 ounces))
Ice
2-3 ounces unflavored sparkling or seltzer water ((4-6 Tbsp yield ~2-3 ounces) )

Steps:

Add kumquats, sweetener, and 1/2 ounce gin (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) to a serving glass and muddle to break down sweetener and release citrus juices. Add remaining gin and stir well to combine.
If you're not into citrus pulp/skin, scoop out or strain the kumquats from the drink. The whole fruit is edible though, so I left mine in! Otherwise, move onto the next step.
Add ice and top off with sparkling water to achieve desired strength of drink. Add 2-3 ounces for a stronger drink and 3-5 ounces for a weaker drink (amounts as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
Taste and adjust sweetness and strength as needed. Optional: Garnish with additional kumquat slices. Serve.

The fragrant turmeric added to the shaker gives these gin and tonics a sunny glow-quite appropriate for such a refreshing cocktail on a hot summer day. This drink was developed using Diaspora Pragati Turmeric ($12, diaspora.com).

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh juice
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric, such as Diaspora Pragati
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
3 to 4 ounces gin, such as St. George or Stranger & Sons
Tonic water, such as Fever-Tree or Svami

Steps:

In a cocktail shaker or Mason jar, combine lemon zest and juice, turmeric, ginger, gin, and 4 to 6 ice cubes. Seal lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds. Strain (through a fine-mesh strainer, if using jar) into two ice-filled glasses. Top each with tonic to taste (4 to 5 ounces); serve.

Tips:

Choose the right gin. A citrus-forward gin is best for this cocktail, as it will allow the citrus flavors to shine through. Some good options include Tanqueray Rangpur, Hendrick's Gin, or Bombay Sapphire.
Use fresh citrus fruits. Fresh citrus fruits will give your cocktail the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic citrus fruits, as they will be free of pesticides and waxes.
Make your own tonic syrup. Tonic syrup is easy to make at home, and it will give your cocktail a much more flavorful and refreshing taste than store-bought tonic water. To make tonic syrup, simply combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool completely. Once the syrup has cooled, stir in 1 teaspoon of quinine powder.
Garnish with a citrus twist. A citrus twist is the perfect garnish for a citrus gin and tonic. It adds a pop of color and flavor, and it also helps to release the citrus oils into the cocktail.

Conclusion:

A citrus gin and tonic is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright citrus flavors and subtle bitterness, this cocktail is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail, give the citrus gin and tonic a try.
