Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Gin
- 4 oz Tonic water
- 1 piece Lime (or lemon)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 sprig Fresh herbs (optional, e.g., mint or rosemary)
Instructions
Start by prepping your garnishes. Slice the lime (or lemon) into thin rounds or wedges. Set aside one for garnishing and squeeze a small wedge to add a splash of fresh citrus juice if desired.
Fill a highball glass about halfway with ice cubes to keep your drink cool and refreshing.
Pour 2 ounces of gin over the ice cubes in the glass.
Add 4 ounces of tonic water gently to avoid losing the carbonation. You can adjust the quantity to your taste preferences.
If desired, squeeze a small wedge of lime or lemon into the drink for a touch of citrus flavor.
Give the drink a gentle stir using a bar spoon or straw to combine the ingredients.
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge or citrus slice on the rim of the glass. For an aromatic twist, you can also add a sprig of fresh mint or rosemary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Gin Tonic.
