MAKE A BUTTERFLY PEA SPANISH G&T
A Spanish G&T calls for a larger glass, more ice and more tonic than a standard G&T.
The drink is said to have originated with Spanish chefs who would typically toss a herb or two into their drinks while cooking but today this evolved into adding a more diverse bounty of herbs, fruits, botanicals.
To enjoy a Spanish G&T with your Butterfly Pea Gin we recommend:
1. Fill your glass with ice
2. Add 60mls of CarbonSix Butterfly Pea Gin
3. Top with 1 can (250mls) of Alchemy & Tonic Smashed Rhubarb & Mandarin Tonic
4. Add a sprinkle of Spanish G&T mix
5. Optional: add a sprig of rosemary, thyme, mint or other green garden herb to garnish and serve on a cocktail napkin for added elegance
