Variations of the non-alcoholic Gin & Tonic 

How do you give your Laori & Tonic a completely unique touch or give it a little more aromatic boost? There are dozens of options for this, but these are the easiest and therefore most popular, especially in the home bar:

• Gin spices: Also known as “botanicals”, just like the ones used to distill the gin. You simply add suitable spices, such as juniper berries or rosemary sprigs, to the glass. 
• tea infusions : Pour gin into a glass and hang a teabag in it for about three minutes. Take out the teabag and add tonic.
