Frozen Gin and Tonic

I developed this frozen G&T recipe for Leon's Oyster Shop in Charleston, South Carolina. I just find it an incredibly refreshing, fun, and delicious take on the classic gin and tonic. Note that you need to use tonic syrup, not tonic water, in this drink. The syrup is a concentrated form of tonic; tonic water would add too much dilution and not enough flavor to this frosty cocktail. Feel free to double this recipe to make a 2-drink batch.
