Tropical gin sour

Gin
Prep time: 10 mins
Author: Vox Creative
A bottle of Tanqueray gin is placed on a woven mat with two orange cocktails, a bowl of orange slices, a pineapple, and a decorative brass telephone against a pink background.

This tropical twist on the classic Army & Navy sour is refreshing and complex. The addition of passionfruit and just a touch of Absinthe makes this drink really pop. The backbone of Tanqueray London Dry Gin complements and carries all the floral notes of bright fruit and baking spice through to a bracing finish that will keep you coming back for more. Both elegant and complex, this one is a cookout crusher.
