Ingredients

4 cups water
1 cup sugar
250ml gin (Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla preferable, but any gin should work)
1½ cups tonic water (flat)
1 cup grapefruit juice (keep the broken segments of the grapefruit for garnish, remove the skin)
Handful of mint leaves

Instructions

Heat the water and sugar together on a stove top until the sugar dissolves. Allow the syrup to cool – place it in an ice bowl to speed up the process.
Once cool, add the gin, tonic and grapefruit juice to the bowl and stir. Place a segment of grapefruit as well as some mint leaves into each popsicle mould, pour in the gin mixture and freeze overnight.
Refreshing on a lovely summer’s day!
