For this cocktail I added a little sugar syrup to counteract the sharpness of the berries so to keep things nice and light I used the Fentimans Naturally Light Tonic Water from the 500ml mixers range. A lovely light and sparkly tonic water you certainly can't tell it's low calorie, you can never be too carful around the festive season. I'm looking at you, selection box!
