Classic Gin and tonic

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Gin Tonic is the legacy of the British Empire: officers made bitter quinine (tonic) consumed against malaria drinkable with gin. Today it has become one of the world's most sophisticated refreshments, where the pine scent of juniper berries in gin and the bitter bubbles of tonic dance in the glass. The secret lies in ratios and temperature.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large wine glass (Copa): So aromas gather at your nose.
  • Bar spoon: For gentle stirring.

Instructions

1 ✓

Fill the glass completely with ice. Stir the ice in the glass to chill the glass, then pour off any water that has melted.

Tip: A cold glass is essential so carbonation doesn't escape immediately when tonic hits the glass.
2 ✓

Pour gin over the ice.

Tip: Alcohol dissolves citrus essential oils, so it's worth putting lime peel in now too.
3 ✓

Hold glass at a slant, and gently fill with tonic. Don't pour from high up!

Tip: If you pour from high or fast, carbon dioxide releases at 'impact', and drink becomes flat. (Gas solubility).
4 ✓

With a bar spoon, lift the drink once or twice. Don't stir wildly round and round.

Tip: Stirring aim is just to mix thicker gin and thinner tonic. Too much stirring drives out bubbles.
5 ✓

Squeeze a wedge of lime in, and garnish glass with the other.

Tip: Twist lime peel slightly over glass so fragrant oils spray onto drink surface.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the ice melt quickly?
You used too little ice, or the tonic was warm. Lots of ice cools itself, so melts slower.
What gin should I choose?
London Dry type for classic taste, or modern, floral gin for a softer experience.
