Bitterman's Garden Gin & Tonic Salt

Fresh & floral for garden g & ts!

A drink spirited with gin, held up with citrus sweetness, lightened up with a little effervescence, and kissed with floral salt flakes. Set in a wooded bluff over a cool stream or in a lush backyard garden. Wherever this drink comes from, I recommend visiting. Just don’t forget the salt...
