Cucumber and Tonic
Recipe adapted or created by H. Joseph Ehrmann
Ingredients
- 3 oz Fresh Victor Cucumber & Lime
- 1.5oz gin
- 1-2oz tonic water
Build

Grapefruit & Rosemary Gin & Tonic
Recipe adapted or created by H. Joseph Ehrmann
Ingredients
- 1 oz Fresh Victor Grapefruit & Sea Salt
- 1.5 oz gin
- 4 oz tonic water
- 2 rosemary sprigs
- 1-2 grapefruit wheels / half wheels (whatever fits your glass)
Build
Easier (less rosemary flavor): Build all ingredients over ice in a large goblet glass (red wine) and garnish.
Shaker
Optional (more rosemary flavor):
- In a cocktail shaker, lightly muddle one rosemary sprig, cover with Fresh Victor, gin and ice, shake lightly and strain over ice in a large goblet glass (red wine), top with tonic water and garnish with the grapefruit wheel and other rosemary sprig.
Substitute a non-alcoholic gin replacement (e.g. Ritual, Monday, CleanCo, etc.)
