For a refreshing long drink we have a shot of gin, mixed with sparkling water, ice and a slice of fresh lime. This is an easy drink to make and ideal if you’re out in a bar and unsure about what they stock.

How are you with fruit sugars and agave nectar?

If you’re okay with these, we also enjoy a shot of gin mixed with a third of a glass of Appletiser (or Peartiser), topped up with sparkling water, ice and fresh lime. Appletiser / peartiser is made from concentrated fruit juice and so does contain fruit sugars, if this is okay for you then this is a great drink. Along the same lines, you could also use 100% pure fruit juice and top this up with sparkling water.

If you’re okay with agave nectar too (natural sweetner, low GI), then Whole Earth sparkling drinks are a great mixer – similar to above, mix one shot of gin with a third of a glass of Whole Earth drink (sparkling ginger is my favourite) and top up with sparkling water, ice and lime.

I hope this helps to give you some inspiration. If you come up with anything new, we’d love to hear about it!

Cheers!
