Ingredients
- 3 ounces good gin like Hendrick’s
- 3 ounces good tonic water like Fever Tree
- 2 Lime slices
- Optional garnishes: juniper berries cucumber slices, mint, or edible flowers
Instructions
- Set out a lowball glass and fill it in half full with ice.
- Add 3 ounces of gin and 3 ounces of tonic. Squeeze one lime slice into the glass then drop in the slice. Stir well.
- Garnish with a second lime slice. All other garnishes are optional.
Notes
- If you go to restaurants, you will often see fancy gin and tonics topped with all sorts of garnishes including juniper berries, of course, thinly sliced cucumbers mint leaves, edible flowers, and other herbal sprigs.

- You can certainly garnish your gin and tonics at home with fancier ingredients. I’ve shown mine here with juniper berries because we had them on hand. None of these things actually flavor the gin and tonic and make it taste better than it would as a standalone cocktail.

- As for glassware, you can serve a gin and tonic in any kind of glass, a highball glass, a lowball rocks glass, or a wide stemmed Copa-style glass. I personally like to select a shorter glass with a wide rim over a highball glass. I feel like this helps to release the aroma of the gin and tonic for an overall better experience.
