Keep it light and bright with 3 recipes for gin and tonics.
With its short, to-the-point ingredient list, the gin and tonic is an exercise in minimalist bartending. The ingredients for — and method of making — the crisp, bright and bitter-leaning drink lie directly in its name. Poured over ice, the bubbly combination makes a refreshing and quick-to-pour cocktail. And yet, a good drink is only as good as the sum of its parts, and when a drink’s ingredient list is two ingredients long, it pays to choose wisely.
Start with the gin. The bottle you choose and the flavor profiles within it have a profound effect on your final drink. You can make a G&T with any gin you love and/or have on your bar, but if you’re looking to pour a traditional take, reach for juniper-forward, boldly aromatic London Dry gins. To be classified as London Dry, no flavorings or botanicals can be added after the distillation process.
For the tonic, to maintain a balanced drink that doesn’t tip overly sweet, reach for a quality dry tonic — such as Fever-Tree or Q tonic. If employing a sweeter-leaning tonic, keep the drink from becoming saccharine by swapping some of the tonic with seltzer or club soda. No matter the tonic you choose, make sure it’s cold. The low temperature helps carbonation last longer, thus keeping your G&T lively and bright the whole drink through.
Once you have chosen the basics, you may want to consider your stance on the gin and tonic’s optional-to-some, necessary-to-others third ingredient: fresh lime. If you’re opting to add it, slice the citrus into wedges and either squeeze one directly into the glass or drop it in unsqueezed for a slightly less potent hit of flavor. If you prefer to garnish with something other than lime, opt to mirror the botanicals in your chosen gin.
