Smiffys Tonic Bottle Costume, White

Product Information

In fact, I hated Gin and Tonics as a twenty-something until I was finally introduced to the high end tonic waters from Fever-Tree and Q Mixers. Tip: I don’t know if there’s any truth to this, but rolling the citrus on the counter before cutting into it is supposed to yield more juice. Use plenty of quality ice Large balloon glasses are also excellent for garnishing with a variety of botanicals to further emphasize the flavors and aromas of the gin. I choose an average-sized lime and squeeze half of its juice into my gin and tonics (roughly a half ounce), but you can use less if you prefer. Some like to just top their G&Ts with the juice from a lime wedge. Also, using a syrup allows you to decide how strong or weak (and as a result, how bitter) your tonic tastes.

A tall and narrow highball glass will preserve more of the carbonation, keeping your drink more effervescent for longer. Try a couple of different glasses with your favorite gin and see which works best for you. Garnish thoughtfully Lime is classic, and lemon is really nice paired with Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic. Try a squeeze of grapefruit juice with Empress 1908 Gin or the herbal Gin Mare. My preferred ratio is 1:3, or 2 ounces of gin to 5-6 ounces of tonic water. Brands like Fever-Tree typically come in 6 oz bottles and I find this to be the perfect amount.

If I don’t have a garnish in the cupboard, I regularly go without. However, a garnish is great for taking the same drink in different directions, e.g. enhancing the citrus or bringing out more herbaceous notes.Fever-Tree coined the phrase, “If 3/4 of your drink is the mixer, mix it with the best.” While your favoured gin to tonic ratio might not be that exact volume, the tonic you choose really does matter. Always start out with a classic Indian tonic water. This tends to be a good baseline before branching out to other styles.
