It's time for a new infusion. To help welcome the warmer seasons we will be working with Madam Geneva. Supposedly this infusion recipe will create a delicious Gin and Tonic. Ingredients:
A handful of lime rinds
A couple lemon rinds
A few basil leaves
Some slices of cucumber
Gin, Gin, Gin
Before you create this yourself, I'll do my best to let you know how it tastes. I have my suspicions.

Dear This Johnson Life,
Long-time reader, first-time commenter. I read your post on the gin infusion with great interest and decided to try to make the concoction myself. Oh, what fun it was! The purchasing of the produce, the small amount of chopping, and the shaking. All good times. It doesn't get any better, right? Wrong! Because a few days later, you actually get to drink it! And I feel that is the best part. The infusion makes for lovely gins and tonic. The citrus and cucumber really smooth out the gin, as described by TJL, and the basil adds a nice finish to each sip. I think it would also be good in other gin drinks such as a Gin Fizz, Gimlet, or even a Gin Rickey!
This was my first attempt at replicating a project from the TJL catalog. I would definitely recommend this to a friend as a good first project to try. It is rewarding, but also simple enough for a non-Johnson to complete. As a result of this experience, I look forward to trying more of your DIYs. Some day, perhaps I will even try to make the Lobster. Wow, the Lobster! Can you imagine? Very slim margins of error, but if executed properly, the payoff is huge. Well, I might be getting ahead of myself; the Lobster is obviously a demanding project that is not to be taken lightly. Maybe I'll try the Brandy Cassis next.
Thank you, TJL!
