Autumn long drink

The Münsterländer variation of the gin and tonic makes the "classic" version look old. For your "Münsterländer Gräften Tonic" you can use a very special gin alternative, the Gräftenwasser. The Gräftenwasser Wachholder convinces with its fine taste and can be mixed with your favourite tonic water. The best thing about this long drink is that you can refine it to your own taste. Whether with lemon, lime, cucumber or rosemary and pepper - the choice is yours.

Suitable for autumn, the long drink is also the perfect companion for a picnic, whether indoors or outdoors!

Ingredients

For 1 long drink:

  • approx. 200 ml tonic water
  • 2-4 cl Gräftenwasser juniper
  • Ice cube
  • a sprig of rosemary
  • A little ground pepper
  • if desired.

The quantities may of course vary according to taste.

...and this is how it is done
