This delightful gin and tonic cocktail is a take on a Frenchie, a cocktail developed by LA-based bartender Somer Perez. We loved the name and decided for summertime it needed a little remix to help you cool off with friends for a long summer of outdoor entertaining. This frozen gin cocktail is a delightful play on a gin and tonic with the added refreshment of grapefruit juice. You’re going to love how easy this is to sip this summer.
