This Tuscan Giardino cocktail is a true garden in a glass. It’s savory, but bright and refreshing- perfect for sipping outside on a breezy summer day. It’s made with Uncle Val’s new Zested Gin which has zesty botanicals which go perfect in a savory drink. Do not skip on the Sauvignon Blanc syrup, it adds a lovely layer of flavor to the savory cocktail. Although if you are short on time and wine, just use simple syrup in its place.
