Gin and bear it

Good for more than just your go-to “well, the barkeep probably can’t screw this up” liquor/mixer combo with tonic, Nolet’s new, smooth gin makes it easy to class up and cool down your summer. Obviously, we recommend everything on the rocks — or, if you’re so inclined, you could go all the way with a fancy, chilled glass.

2.5 oz. Nolet’s Silver Dry Gin

1 oz. rhubarb syrup
