Gin and Tonic

The brand of gin is a personal preference, but do spring for a decent one; you’ll appreciate the difference. I definitely recommend using a good brand of tonic water, such as Fever Tree, Fentiman’s or Q. For a special treat, try making your own homemade tonic water, which will give the drink a distinctly amber color. The amount of gin is a personal preference, and depends on the actual size of the glass. Some say 1 part gin to 2 parts tonic is right, but you can customize to your liking.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 to 2 ounces gin
  • tonic water
  • lime wedge

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes about three-quarters full. Add the gin to the glass.
  2. Squeeze the lime wedge gently over the gin and ice cubes, just to release a small bit of the juice, but not all, then drop the lime wedge into the glass.
  3. Fill the glass up with tonic water. Stir gently a couple of times, and serve.
