It is the kind of drink that proves simplicity, when done well, is powerful.

Recipe:

  • 50 ml premium gin

  • 150-200 ml tonic water

  • 1 lime

  • 1 lemon

  • Ice cubes

Directions:

  1. Chill the Glass: Start by chilling your glass in the freezer for a few minutes

  2. Prepare the Citrus: Cut the lime and lemon into thin wedges.

  3. Combine Gin and Citrus: Pour 2 oz of premium gin into the mixing glass with the citrus juices.

  4. Add Ice: Fill your chilled glass with fresh ice cubes.

  5. Pour and Mix.

  6. Garnish: Garnish with a slice of lime and a slice of lemon. For an extra touch, add a sprig of fresh mint or basil.

Why This Is the Best Gin and Tonic:

A great gin and tonic depends on balance. The right ratio of gin to tonic water preserves the botanicals while allowing effervescence to lift the citrus. Fresh lemon and lime enhance the natural brightness of the gin without masking its character. The result is a clean, vibrant Welsh gin and tonic with depth and clarity. If you are looking for a simple gin cocktail that never goes out of style, this is the one.
