Why Wheeler’s Gin in This Spanish Gin and Tonic?

Besides the fact that this delicious gin comes from Santa Fe, Wheeler’s Western Dry Gin excels in flavor. It’s goes down smooth with earthy notes of aromatic sage, cactus flower, juniper, and osha root. The reason it works so well in this Spanish Gin and Tonic is because it embodies all the gems of the Southwest. You can even take things a step further by experimenting with garnishes like black peppercorns, basil, tajin-coated limes, or even wedges of tomatoes.
