Pro-tip: Use liquid Stevia in your gin drinks this summer!
Liquid Stevia is a great replacement for simple syrup in a lot of cocktails, but it especially goes well with gin. The gin removes the notes of the stevia that a lot of people don't like.
If you want a neutral flavor sweetener, NuNaturals clear stevia extract is the best I've found. I've also come across some Stevia extracts that have vanilla notes to them, which can work pretty good depending on the drink you are mixing.
Liquid stevia also works great in just pure lemonade and limeade.
Really the key to using stevia extract is to figure out what flavors it mixes well with. Stevia isn't just sugar, it has its own flavor profile, and sometimes that is a bad thing (cookies) but for other recipes, it can be an asset!
Recipe
Fizzy Gin and Lime
1 shot of gin
1 cup of soda water
1/2 a lime, fresh squeezed
Liquid Stevia Extract to sweeten
(Optional) Mint leaf
Mix above together, muddle in a mint leaf or two if so desired. Serve.
Liquid Stevia extract can vary dramatically in strength. What is 3 drops from one brand is 3 squirts in another, so be careful!
