Created by: Ted Freeseman, Head Bartender The Gibson

Ingredients:

A highball glass
1 oz  Gin. We'll use old tom gin. It has a balance that's a little more sweet and citrus forward than a dry, or even most American gins
1/2 oz Domaine de Canton
1/2 oz Lemon juice
2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
Tonic water

Execution:

Pour the liquor and juice into your glass, add a couple dashes of bitters, and fill with ice. Pour tonic water over the mixture and stir until the bitters have mixed in, leaving a light red/pink color throughout. Garnish with a lemon wheel, and you'll have a refreshing drink through the seasons.
