A Refreshing Peach Gin and Tonic Recipe

Gin and tonics have been my go to drink of the season for several summers in a row now.  They are crisp, refreshing, and easy to whip up…essentially they are the perfect summer cocktail.  As much as I love a classic G&T, I have occasionally been known to mix things up.  Since moving to Kansas City, I have been eating peaches by what feels like the gallon.  Peaches at breakfast in my smoothie, peaches at lunch, peaches for dessert…in all honesty, it is getting a bit out of hand!  Today’s peach gin and tonic recipe is in equal parts the spirit of my peach obsession and in the spirit of summer, because what says summer quite like an invigorating peach gin and tonic?

This peach gin and tonic recipe makes the perfect companion to a hot summer night. It is light, crisp, refreshing, and easy to whip up. What more can you ask for?
