How to make the ultimate gin and tonic
Tonic and Gin:
Your favourite gin, be it Plymouth, Tanqueray, Millers, Hendricks, Beefeater, Sapphire ..... They are all different and with Fever-Tree you will actually get a mixer which enhances their tastes.
A balloon glass. In Spain they have the real thing. Big balloon on an elegant stem. If you don't have exactly the right one, try a glass suitable for red wine or cognac. The point being that the aroma of this gin & tonic is worth savouring and a balloon glass will concentrate that aroma on the nose.
Fresh ice - at least four big cubes. Clear cubes from spring water if possible
Fever-Tree tonic waterfrom the fridge.
Lime - a curl of the rind of a lime - It's the oils you want not the flesh (or a slice if you really must)
Ice first, then 1 part of gin (50ml - 1.7oz), then the Fever-Tree (all 200ml - 6.8oz)
Then the lime curl, but be quick. You want that fizz to tickle your nose as you smell the aromas. And then drink.
*every man and woman has the perfect ratio of gin to tonic - from a half/half split to five sixths tonic. We'd suggest 1:4 but any way you like it, you will like it more with Fever-Tree.
Gin Ginger Fever:
A highball glass**. The higher the better - the aroma of this gin & ginger is worth savouring and a highball glass will lengthen that aroma on the nose.
- Fresh ice at least 4 large cubes
- Fever-Tree ginger ale from the fridge.
- Lemon - a curl of the rind of a lemon - again it’s the oils you want not the flesh - or a slice if you really must
- Ice first, then 1 part of gin (50ml - 2oz), then the Fever-Tree ginger ale (all 200ml - 7oz)
Then the lemon, but be quick. You want that fizz to tickle your nose as you smell the aromas. And then drink.
*every man and woman has the perfect ratio of gin to mixer- from a half/half split to five sixths tonic.
We'd recommend 1:4 gin to ginger and perfect it to your liking from there.
