(2) Fill with crushed ice

Fill the glasses with crushed ice.

(3) Pineapple Juice & Lemon & Tonic & Gin

In each glass, pour 60 ml pineapple juice, the juice of half a lemon over the crushed ice, and top with a splash of elderflower tonic water. 

Finally, add 30 ml of the color-changing Gin on top.

Some Recipe Tips:

Color-Changing Gin: For the magical color-changing effect, use a Gin, that has a color-changing effect. Those Gins usually contain a special blue flower, that reacts with the acidity of the added tonic, pineapple juice and lemon juice. This reaction turns the deep blue color of the Gin into a purple-pink. 

You can, of course, use any Gin of your liking. You will lose the magical color-changing effect, but this Gin & Tonic Cocktail will still look and taste delicious!
