Rose Gin and Tonic

Hi guys! So lately, I’ve had this thing with styled shoots and craft cocktails! If you read my Epcot Food and Wine Fest post, you know I did a tasting and learned a ton about craft cocktails. Ultimately, it inspired me to bring another fun cocktail for any occasion! A Rose Gin and Tonic. 

I’ve been spending a lot of time on the internet trying to learn about the different type of craft cocktails, bitters and mixology. I had no idea what a big community there is for people that create craft cocktails from scratch. I also didn’t realize that it is literally an art of using the freshest ingredients possible to craft the perfect cocktail. It’s pretty cool! 

Difference between Shaken and Stirred:

We all know it: “It’s shaken baby not stirred… “. That’s how it goes, right?! Well, I have finally figured out what that means. When you shake a cocktail you’re diluted it with the water given off by the ice. When you stir the cocktail you’re keepig it’s original flavor!
