Refresh your summer with Coconut Gin and Tonic
One of the best things about the scorching summer heat is the chance to satisfy your thirst with a refreshing coconut gin and tonic.
Indulge in the ultimate summer thirst-quencher with Coconut Gin and Tonic cocktail.
The star ingredient, coconut water, is a natural hydrator loaded with electrolytes. It replenishes lost fluids and keeps dehydration at bay.
Lime juice adds a zesty twist and a healthy dose of vitamin C, supporting your immune system and skin health.
Fresh mint leaves not only enhance the flavour but also aid digestion.
Gin brings a unique blend of botanicals, adding depth and complexity to the drink, while tonic water’s quinine not only complements the gin but also offers a subtle bitterness that balances the sweetness of coconut water.
