The Ultimate Gin & Tonic

This G&T recipe, from Curaté in Asheville, NC, turns the classic gin & tonic's masculine vibe on its head. All dressed up in flowers and colors, it's girly, glamorous, and totally delicious.

When you say "wheel" do you mean slice?

How pretentious can you get?

My, what a beautiful drink. Gin is my beverage of choice and this has got to be just heavenly. I have a lemon tree and an abundance of verbena and nasturtiums in my garden. Pardon me while I go whip up a couple of these for our cocktail hour this evening. Will let you know how they came out. What a lovely task awaits me.
