I love variations as they provide two things: an immediate indication that you’ll probably like a cocktail and, if you’re making it at home, a way to spice up your routine.

This variation on a standard gin and tonic at once elevates it and will have you experimenting with some new spirits. And who doesn’t like that? Cheers, friends.

I often make extra when I whip up a batch of cocktails for Orasella’s photo shoots. Call it a perk of the job. Recently, I’ve been turning my extras into cocktail kits and leaving them at friends’ doorsteps. I mean, we all need something to look forward to, right?

Which made me think about you…and your Mom. If you can’t be with her this Mother’s Day, I promise, this cocktail makes the perfect kit: hibiscus infused gin, three limes, Orasella cherries and some hard cider. Add a grocery store bouquet and you’re set. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.
