Salty Lemon Gin and Tonic

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cocktail Recipes. (Salty Lemon Gin and Tonic). Gin and tonics are one of my favorite cocktails, but I often like experimenting with different add-ins instead of the traditional lime wedge. The salt from the preserved lemon really brings out the natural botanical flavors in the gin.
