Question: what are the black bits in gin and tonic?
Answer: 4. Peppercorns. Peppercorns are commonly seen in Spanish G&Ts, bobbing amidst the ice cubes. You can opt for black peppercorns for a bit of a savoury kick (paired with strawberries for a summery twist); or go for the numbing heat of Sichuan peppercorns for a truly unusual gin and tonic garnish.
