In Africa, a gin and tonic is invariably called a 'sundowner'. After a sun-drenched day, a gin and tonic is the best medicine against thirst. But even when the sun is not shining, this bittersweet drink is a great aperitif. It is easy to make and always a hit. We make this GT with Mokum Dusk Cool Blend, tonic, fresh mint and lemon.
