This gin-scented tincture works beautifully as an accent to a great variety of cocktails. Just a few drops over the top of a freshly blended Piña Colada gives a beautiful spice to the otherwise fruity-creamy cocktail. For low alcohol cocktails, a dash or two of this infusion will liven up a simple tonic or ginger ale nicely. Even try it as an accent over fresh fruit or sorbet!
