This Tuscan Giardino cocktail is a real backyard in a glass. It’s savory, however shiny and refreshing- good for sipping exterior on a breezy summer season day. It’s made with Uncle Val’s new Zested Gin which has zesty botanicals which go good in a savory drink. Don’t skip on the Sauvignon Blanc syrup, it provides a stunning layer of taste to the savory cocktail. Though in case you are brief on time and wine, simply use easy syrup instead.
