Lemon Gin Spritzer Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Optional 1 teaspoon simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- SanPellegrino
- Lemon slices and fresh mint for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
- Fill your glass with ice cubes to ensure your drink stays cold and refreshing. In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup if you are adding any. Shake well for about 15-20 seconds to mix the ingredients thoroughly and chill the mixture. Pour the drink into your glass. Top off with sparkling water.
- Garnish and Serve: Give the drink a gentle stir to mix in the sparkling water. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of flavor and a beautiful presentation.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve the Lemon Gin Spritzer immediately while it's still cold and fizzy.
***Notes:
Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add more simple syrup to taste. Conversely, if you like it tarter, reduce the amount of syrup or add more lemon juice.
Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to experiment by adding a splash of elderflower liqueur or a few fresh berries for a unique twist.
This Lemon Gin Spritzer is a versatile and refreshing drink that's perfect for summer gatherings, brunches, or just a relaxing evening at home. Enjoy!
