Plymouth Gin Tonic

Historically a two-ingredient drink garnished minimally with a simple lime wedge, the gin and tonic is today the subject of a creative renaissance. In contemporary versions, a wild array of flavorful garnishes and add-ins are employed to concoct delicious drinks that stray far from the stalwart norm. At Miami's Barceloneta restaurant, sweet-tart strawberries are muddled with spicy peppercorns to make this fruity elixir. This recipe first appeared in our June/July 2014 issue with Camper English's story "Miracle Cure."
