How to make a basic gin and tonic
- Start off with a chilled gin and tonic glass
- Add fresh ice cubes to fill ¾ of the glass
- Stir gently for 15 seconds with a bar spoon to chill the glass further
- Pour away any liquid from the melted ice
- Top up the glass with more ice
- Add the gin, trying to ensure that you coat the ice as you pour
- Add the tonic water – pouring slowly helps the tonic keep its fizz
- Add your desired botanicals
- Let rest for 30 seconds to allow the flavours to integrate with each other
- Enjoy!
