The Strawberry Gin Tonic is a summery twist on the classic Gin & Tonic, elevated by the freshness of ripe strawberries. This cocktail blends the boldness of gin with the bitterness of tonic water, all sweetened by fresh strawberries. Its delightful pink hue and visible fruit pieces make it just as enjoyable visually as it is to taste.
