Persian Gin & Tonic
Ingredients
Method
In a large glass container add a big handful of dill sprigs and the chunkily cubed cucumber
Top it with a bottle of gin (I use Bombay Sapphire, but use whichever you have on hand)
Leave the container in the fridge for 12-24 hours
Remove from the fridge, pour the gin in a glass, top with tonic, an ice cube and a squeeze of lime. Stir and sip!
Notes
Using some of the most loved and used ingredients in Iranian cooking, this Gin & Tonic is fragrant and refreshing. I am pretty sure the ancestors would be proud of me for this concoction!
Beh Salamati! (Cheers in Persian)
