Mineral water treated like a "gin&tonic", tonified, gasified, and gelatinized with infusion of lemon and ginger.

I write this recipe on behalf of the restaurant where I work, so the name of its author is Jordi Cruz (the chef of the restaurant).

Would you like to surprise your friends at the end of a dinner with a different and refreshing dessert??? Try this recipe.

This is a creative and innovating dessert which consists in transforming a typical drink into a dessert.

It is a digestive dessert and it also contains some alcohol.
