Add gin and spiced plum syrup then stir gently.
Add a thin slice of plum for garnish, then top the glass with tonic.
Spiced Plum Simple Syrup
Leaving the skins on, remove the pits out of your plums and muddle them in a bowl just enough to release some of the juices.
Add the sugar, water, muddled plums (including as much juice as possible) and cinnamon stick to a thick-bottomed saucepan
Simmer over a very low heat, stirring occasionally, for about five minutes or until the sugar dissolves and the liquid forms a syrup that’s about half the original volume.
Let cool before use.
