    There are many things that make life feel satisfying and complete. But top of my list are:

    • Hugs from my children
    • Clean bedding
    • a bowl of pasta
    • and relaxing with Stew and a drink at the end of the week.

    On a Friday night, sat on the veranda watching the sunset, gin and tonic in hand and everyone relaxed and happy. That is pretty much the best Friday I can think of! (Well save for a fancy dinner with George! But sadly Mr Clooney has still not come knocking!!!)

    BUT! I am a food blogger and sat on the veranda as the sun sets is not the best way to get a photo of my gin and tonic. So because I am so dedicated to Sprinkles and Sprouts and I want to share the gin and tonic love with you guys, I bumped my Friday G&T to Thursday!!!! I know, what can I say, I am just all about the sacrifice 😉

    And because recipe development is one of my favourite things, I tried two different alterations to the classic gin and tonic. I couldn't decide so I left it up to my Facebook page. And this Gin & Tonic Muddled with Blueberry, Lime and Mint won out. For all of those who wanted to see the coriander based G&T. That will be here next week.

    Frozen blueberries are best for this - they have a much nicer colour when muddled and also they help to chill your gin down.

    The gin/tonic ratios below are based on my personal preference, but add more or less tonic as you like. It is after all your Friday night and your time to relax.

      Blueberries and lime are perfect combo. This cocktail not only is pretty but a nice option when entertaining at home. Can't wait for those grilling parties.

        The coriander one was my favourite too 😀

        If you want the recipe

        I have a fresh coriander (cilantro) one here: Charred Lime Gin & Tonic with Fresh Coriander

        Or one that uses coriander seeds: Charred Lemon, Rosemary and Coriander Gin & Tonic

      What a beautiful cocktail full of fruit and Gin (one of my favorites). Smashing the blueberries I bet gives this so much flavor. Delicious!

        It really does have tons of fresh fruity flavor, especially if you use frozen blueberries as they chill the drink and give it a wonderful color.

        Thank you Tina, frozen berries are so good here as they muddle far more easily and they chill the drink. Plus they have such a vibrant colour.
        Hope your stash of frozen berries goes down quickly 😉
