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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Fill a highball glass about halfway with ice cubes to keep your drink cool and refreshing.
Step 3
Pour 2 ounces of gin over the ice cubes in the glass.
Step 4
Add 4 ounces of tonic water gently to avoid losing the carbonation. You can adjust the quantity to your taste preferences.
Step 5
If desired, squeeze a small wedge of lime or lemon into the drink for a touch of citrus flavor.
Step 6
Give the drink a gentle stir using a bar spoon or straw to combine the ingredients.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Gin Tonic.
