I have a friend who calls me a “one trick pony” because I’ll add cardamom to anything. Recipes like this prove me right.

Fever tree cucumber tonic water, Hendricks, a big squeeze of lime, and a couple of slices of cucumber. Yummy!

Same here. I love cardamom.

This worked reasonably well with sage for the basil, orange for the grapefruit, Hendricks, and Canada Dry tonic water.
