I put in half a lime in wedges that I squeeze before dropping in. So good. Love to make it when I come home from work and I just don’t have the energy for a more elaborate cocktail. The regular G&T is too bitter for me. With a little bit of elderflower liqueur this is perfect for my taste.
I’ve done this but much more gin and much less elderflower liqueur (2oz & 0.5oz) and a botanical gin it’s quite tasty but I imagine if you put that much liqueur it would be WAY too much like SO much elderflower.
A botanical gin makes all the difference here. Also, using a gin bottle straight from freezer and cooled (fridge) tonic water and liqueur prevents ice from diluting too much. In fact, I can drink it without any ice when done this way.
