Instructions

• Prepare Your Glass: Add a generous handful of ice cubes to your favorite glass.

• Add the Gin: Pour 30ml of gin over the ice. If you love a subtle hint of herbs, go for a botanical gin.

• Infuse with Turmeric: Add the turmeric powder (or juice) to the gin, stirring gently until combined. This adds a vibrant golden hue and earthy flavor.

• Top with Tonic: Pour in the tonic water, watching as it fizzes and mingles with the turmeric gin.

• Garnish: Slide a slice of fresh ginger into the drink, and add a lime or lemon wedge on the rim. A sprig of mint not only adds freshness but an aromatic lift with every sip.

• Serve & Enjoy: Give your drink one last gentle stir and take a moment to appreciate the golden tones and layered flavors. It’s a modern twist on wellness, one sip at a time.

Pro Tip: For a richer, more rounded flavor, use fresh turmeric juice if you have it. Just make sure to mix well to distribute its beautiful color!
