Method
How to make Gin & Tonic
Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Keep the tonic water refrigerated and choose a clean highball glass large enough for plenty of ice.
- 02
Fill the highball glass to the top with medium or large fresh ice cubes; more solid ice keeps the drink colder with less dilution.
- 03
Measure 60 ml gin and pour it evenly over the ice.
- 04
Slowly pour in 120 ml well-chilled tonic water down the inside of the glass to preserve as much carbonation as possible.
- 05
Use a bar spoon to lift the drink gently from bottom to top once or twice; do not over-stir or flatten the tonic.
- 06
Add two thin lime wheels as an optional garnish and serve immediately while the drink is cold and lively.
