Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 to 5 tonic water Ice Cubes (recommended: Schweppes) (see Note)
3 ounces gin (recommended: Plymouth Gin)
4 ounces tonic water (recommended: Schweppes)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Lime wedge for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the ice cubes in a tall, narrow, chilled glass (the cubes should come near the top.) Add the gin, then the tonic water, then the lime juice, stirring well. Garnish with lime wedge, and serve immediately.

THE BEST GIN AND TONIC



The Best Gin and Tonic image

The best gin and tonic is all in the technique, because the most important ingredient in a G&T is not really the gin, or even the tonic. It's carbonation.

Provided by Maggie Hoffman

Time 3m

Yield Makes 1

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 approximately 7-oz. bottle tonic water (such as Fever Tree or Q), chilled
2 oz. gin, preferably chilled
Grapefruit slice, lime wedge, cucumber slice, or fresh herbs (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Fill a highball or Collins glass about two-thirds full with ice, then add about 2 oz. tonic, followed by 2 oz. gin and the remaining tonic. Garnish with a grapefruit slice, lime wedge, cucumber slice, or fresh herbs if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right gin: London dry gin is the classic choice for a G&T, but you can also experiment with other styles of gin, such as Old Tom gin or Plymouth gin. Look for a gin with a flavor profile that you enjoy, and that will complement the other ingredients in your G&T.
  • Use fresh, high-quality tonic water: The tonic water is just as important as the gin in a G&T, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a tonic water that is made with natural ingredients and that has a balanced flavor. Avoid tonic waters that are too sweet or too bitter.
  • Add some garnish: A slice of lime or lemon is the classic garnish for a G&T, but you can also get creative with other garnishes, such as cucumber, mint, or rosemary. The garnish will add a pop of flavor and color to your drink.
  • Experiment with different ratios: The classic G&T ratio is 1 part gin to 2 parts tonic water, but you can adjust this ratio to suit your own taste. If you like a stronger G&T, you can use more gin. If you prefer a lighter G&T, you can use more tonic water.

Conclusion:

The perfect G&T is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a G&T that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail, reach for a gin and tonic. Cheers!
