While we love classic cocktails, we’re no stranger to spicing things up every now and then—literally. Take blogger, photographer, and author Heidi Swanson’s spin on the gin and tonic: this special sipper, from Swanson's 2016 Beard Award–winning cookbook Near & Far, has the requisite spirit, bubbles, and citrus, but that’s where it sheds its traditional guise. Swanson infuses the gin with torn dill leaves and hand-crushed dried coriander and fennel seeds, yielding an aromatic riff on the perennial favorite with delicate herbal notes. Get the recipe.
