Chef José’s favorite gin & tonic takes a citrus-forward approach to the cocktail. The tropical aroma of Kaffir lime leaves from Thailand is perfect for a summer sunset.

How to Make It

1

Pour gin over ice (preferably a single large ice cube). 

2

Arrange the garnish on top of the ice cube, rolling the Makrut leaf or smacking the verbena sprig to add aroma.
