THE BLUEBERRY G&T
The simple combination of gin, lime, and tonic water poured over ice is a classic for a reason. With The Blueberry G&T, we’ve taken the traditional gin and tonic and we’ve given it a wonderfully fruity twist with homemade blueberry simple syrup! Simply add the syrup, ice, Beefeater Gin, tonic water, a lime wedge and thyme sprig — you’ve got a well-balanced and flavourful cocktail that is perfect for sipping at any time of the year.
