The garden gin & tonic is a fresh take on a classic from london barman jamie gordon. Blanc vermouth and orange (or other citrus) bitters add a floral, citrusy bouquet to the g&t template, played up even further with fresh cucumber, citrus, strawberries, and herbs. We consider these full-fledged ingredients, rather than garnishes; they contribute a great deal to the incredible scent and flavor of the drink. London dry gin is called for in the original recipe but a botanical gin like hendricks, with its cucumber and rose notes, is a natural choice here.
