Iconoclast
1/2 fresh lemon
diet Vernors Original ginger soda
cubed or crushed ice
premium gin
Special instructions:
This drink, reminiscient of a highball, uses premium gin, and is built in an old-fashioned glass, partly accounting for its name. The use of diet Vernors ginger ale, lemon juice with no added sugar, and the lack of a garnish make this call drink satisfying and refreshing, yet light on calories - only 156 calories and 3 grams of carbohydrate per glass. Like a highball in a lowball glass; truly Iconoclastic!Fill an old-fasioned glass halfway with ice. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 oz. gin (I prefer Bombay Sapphire). Stir. Fill the rest of the way with diet Verners and gently stir. Enjoy. Nutrition Info: 156 calories and 3 g carbohydrates per glass(!)
