This gin and tonic with salty lemon recipe is one of my favorite cocktails. I often like experimenting with different add-ins instead of the traditional lime wedge. The salt from the preserved lemon really brings out the natural botanical flavors in gin.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 preserveds lemon
  • 2 fluids ounces gin
  • 2 cups ice cubes , or as needed
  • 4 fluids ounces tonic water , such as Fever Tree
  • 1 small sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove pulp from lemon with a sharp knife and discard, saving peel. Lightly rinse peel with cool water. Slice off a thin sliver of peel and set aside for garnish.

  2. 2

    Combine lemon peel and gin in a shaker. Muddle lemon until slightly crushed. Add 1 cup ice to the shaker, cover, and shake until chilled, 15 to 20 seconds.

  3. 3

    Fill a rocks glass with ice and strain cocktail over the ice. Top with tonic water. Garnish with lemon sliver and rosemary sprig.
