This gin and tonic with salty lemon recipe is one of my favorite cocktails. I often like experimenting with different add-ins instead of the traditional lime wedge. The salt from the preserved lemon really brings out the natural botanical flavors in gin.
Ingredients
- ¼ preserved lemon
- 2 fluid ounces gin
- 2 cups ice cubes, or as needed
- 4 fluid ounces tonic water (such as Fever Tree)
- 1 small sprig fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
Remove pulp from lemon with a sharp knife and discard, saving peel. Lightly rinse peel with cool water. Slice off a thin sliver of peel and set aside for garnish.
Step 2
Combine lemon peel and gin in a shaker. Muddle lemon until slightly crushed. Add 1 cup ice to the shaker, cover, and shake until chilled, 15 to 20 seconds.
Step 3
Fill a rocks glass with ice and strain cocktail over the ice. Top with tonic water. Garnish with lemon sliver and rosemary sprig.
Tips
Preserved lemons can be found in international markets and specialty grocers, but I prefer to make my own using Meyer lemons and one of the many recipes available online.
