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.
- Note: To make the ice cubes, simply fill an empty ice cube tray with tonic water, and let the cubes freeze. It takes just a few hours. Covered well, the cubes will remain fresh-tasting in the freezer for at least a few weeks.
THE BEST GIN AND TONIC
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.

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!
