Classic Gin & Tonic (G&T)

Classic Gin & Tonic (G&T)

This is a classic cocktail that all gin drinkers should know how to make – it’s light, delicious, versatile and can be enjoyed all year round. The flavour varies with the ratios and the quality of the ingredients – it’s all about the gin and the tonic after all.

INGREDIENTS

• 50mls Daylesford Spirit Australian Dry Gin
• 100mls tonic water
• Fresh lime wedges
• Sprig of rosemary (optional)
• Ice

GLASSWARE

• Rocks glass or highball glass.

METHOD

• Pack a large glass with lots of ice.
• Pour the gin over the ice.
• Squeeze in a wedge of lime.
• Top with the tonic water.
• Garnish with a lime wedge.

TIPS

• If you prefer your cocktails a little less gin forward, try a 3:1 ratio and use 150ml of tonic.
• Always use freshly opened tonic water; using flat tonic water will spoil the cocktail. We recommend buying the small bottles of tonic water for this reason. Small bottles are also more readily recycled than plastic.
• Larger ice cubes are better as they have a smaller overall surface area and are slower to melt.
• Fresh lime is a must, avoid the concentrate.
