5 Event-worthy Gin and Tonic Recipes

Reader’s Digest posted an article titled “What Your Alcoholic Drink of Choice Says About Your Personality” We obviously read this and had to do a drink series based on some of our favorite drinks! Before reading this or any of our drink series articles we like to remind everyone to drink responsibly and to abide by general and local laws. Also we personally do not drink alcohol so each of our recipes will have a non-alcoholic alternative.
