Instructions

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, gin, and garlic powder.

3. Chill the Mixture:
- Transfer the mixture to a small serving bowl or dish.
- Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least PT30M (30 minutes) to allow the flavors to meld together.

4. Serve:

- Optionally, garnish with additional olive slices or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a touch of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
