Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ounces london dry gin
tonic water (from a fresh bottle)
1 -2 ample lime wedge
cold ice cube

Steps:

  • Chill the glass. You may want to fill it with ice, then empty it and refill, as some bartenders do with a martini glass.
  • Fill the glass with whole ice cubes. If you wish, take a wedge of lime and moisten the rim the glass with it.
  • Pour the gin over the ice, which should be cold enough that it crackles when the liquor hits it.
  • Fill glass almost to the top with tonic.
  • Squeeze one wedge of lime into the glass. Drop the squeezed lime into the drink as a garnish if you like; it's not necessary, but can add a bit of extra flavor. (If you do, notes Dale DeGroff, make sure the peel has been washed.) Serve.

Tips:

  • Chill everything beforehand: The perfect Gin and Tonic is all about balance, and that means starting with cold ingredients. Chill your gin, tonic water, and glass before you start mixing.
  • Use a good quality gin: Don't skimp on the gin! A good quality gin will make all the difference in the taste of your drink.
  • Choose the right tonic water: There are many different types of tonic water available, so it's important to choose one that you like. Some popular options include Schweppes, Fever-Tree, and Q Tonic.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or fruit: A sprig of rosemary, a slice of lemon, or a few berries can add a touch of flavor and elegance to your Gin and Tonic.
  • Experiment with different ratios: The classic Gin and Tonic ratio is 1:2 gin to tonic water, but you can adjust this to suit your taste. Try experimenting with different ratios until you find the perfect balance.
