Palm sugar sour

Gin, oh ho much I love this spirit.. A Gin and Tonic on the courtyard in our villa is a classic after a good day in the sun. And this day Linn brought fresh picked free grown lime from the jungle in Udawalawe national park. So we just had to have GT’s, but the tonic was out! Decided to mix up a gin-sour in the blender. Soo good! Why don’t we do this more often.. In case you’d like to try and make this cocktail we I put the recipe below.
