Gin & Tonic

How to make the perfect Gin & Tonic

Up until a few years ago, asking for a gin & tonic in a bar would be met with a simple nod. Nowadays, its recent surge in popularity can leave you bewildered by the choices when asking for a G&T. You may be asked if you’d like an aromatic, floral or citrus-based gin, or perhaps something contemporary or artisan. The tonic and garnish options are equally as comprehensive (and not to be overlooked!) Think of an ingredient, and more than likely a gin or tonic has been fused with it somewhere along the line. This is a brilliant thing for gin-lovers, as it has only enhanced the quality and depth of flavour of the timeless classic. It is a cocktail you can get really playful with time and time again…

Ingredients:

• 50ml of your preferred gin
• Your preferred tonic water
• 2 slices of lemon
• 1 slice of lime
• Ice

Method:

• Add the ice to a tumbler glass
• Pour the gin into the glass
• Add tonic almost to the brim (if you prefer yours a bit stronger don’t add as much tonic)
• Garnish with slices of lemon and lime (for a twist you could add sprig of rosemary)
• Serve with a straw
