Rach's husband John freezes classic G&T ingredients overnight to make this crowd-pleasing frozen summer cocktail. 

"I'm making a cocktail that takes at least 8 hours to make!" John says. "You don't have to do anything for 8 hours, but you do have to freeze a lot of stuff the night before." 

Try pairing this adult slushy with Rach's Linguine con Vongole.

Preparation

In a food storage container with lid, combine gin, lime juice, simple syrup, and bitters. Cover and freeze overnight.

Pour tonic into an ice cube tray and freeze overnight for tonic ice cubes.
