The iconic gin and tonic. I hope you don’t need a recipe to make this, but I can give you some simple guidance to make sure your G & T is the best it can be.
Chill everything so that it’s very cold, and use a premium tonic water (Fever Tree or Q Mixers) or craft tonic syrup.
Cheers!
Gin and Tonic
The gin and tonic is truly a simple classic. One can add variety simply by altering the gin selection or even the choice of tonic water.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 oz. gin (extra chilled)
- 4-6 oz. tonic water (see notes for preferred brands)
Instructions
- Pour 2 ounces of gin (London Dry is the standard style) into a rocks glass filled with ice.
- Top with 4-6 ounces of chilled tonic water.
- Garnish with a lime wedge.
Notes
Storing your gin in the freezer to give it some extra chill will help the tonic water retain its carbonation. A well-made G&T should be cold and very effervescent.
I highly suggest choosing a premium tonic water. It really makes all the difference. Fever Tree and Q Mixers are my personal favorites.
