Perfect gin and tonic

The G&T taken seriously: a balloon glass, lots of ice, premium tonic, and a garnish matched to the gin.

Ingredients

  • 5 cl gin
  • 10 cl premium tonic
  • 1 slice lime
  • 3 pieces juniper berries
  • fill the glass ice cubes

Method

  1. Fill a balloon (copa) glass to the brim with ice cubes, stir them, and discard the melted water.
  2. Refill with ice cubes if necessary: the more ice there is, the less the cocktail dilutes.
  3. Pour the gin over the ice.
  4. Tilt the glass and pour the tonic gently down the side to preserve maximum bubbles.
  5. Stir ONCE with a bar spoon, from the bottom up.
  6. Add the garnish that matches your gin and serve immediately.
