This was the third punch bowls we served at our “welcome to summer” party. It is a light and fun twist on a traditional gin and tonic. The elderflower liqueur makes it taste just like the summer sun.
You will need:
- 2 1/2 c gin
- 1 bottle (750 mL) St. Germain Elderflower Liqueuer
- 2 L tonic
Then you will…
- In a large punch bowl or pitcher, mix together the gin and St. Germain.
- Add the tonic.
- Serve over ice.

Then you will…
