Gin and Tonic Float
Description
This Gin and Tonic Float starts with a simple mixture of gin, tonic water, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Upon adding the scoop of vanilla ice cream, the drink fizzes up, creating a creamy foam on top. The texture contrasts between the effervescent tonic and smooth ice cream deliver a surprising combination.
The acidity from the lime juice enhances the botanical notes of the gin while balancing the sweetness of the ice cream. Garnished with a lime slice, this drink presents both visually and in taste as a playful adaptation of a standard cocktail.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fizz and creaminess before the ice cream fully melts. It's suitable for casual gatherings and offers a different way to enjoy a gin and tonic with a cool, dessert-like element.
Ingredients
- 3 oz gin
- 4 oz tonic water
- lime juice of ½ lime
- vanilla ice cream scoop
- lime slice, to serve
Instructions
- Add the gin, tonic and lime juice to a tall glass, but don't fill to the top. Add a scoop of ice cream and serve. Once the ice cream is in it will fizz up and create a decadent creamy foam. Garnish with a slice of lime and enjoy (responsibly :) )
