Sumac Gin and Tonic is an easy way to spice up a classic drink. Sumac has a lovely tart flavor that is similar to lemon and blends quite nicely with the usual ingredients of a gin and tonic. For a stronger flavor, try soaking Sumac in the tonic instead of the gin, making sure to seal the mason jar and keep most of the carbonation from escaping. 

Ingredients

  • Sumac
  • Gin
  • Tonic Water
  • Ice
  • Lime

Instructions

  1. Put Sumac drupes in a mason jar and cover with tonic
  2. Seal and place in the fridge for a few hours
  3. Fill a glass with ice and add gin
