Classic Gin & Tonic with Lime
Refreshing, slightly sweet, and with fragrant herbaceous notes, it's no wonder this cocktail became a classic drink of choice for winding down the day. How civilized!
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 :2 ratio of gin to tonic For my glasses, that becomes 2 ounces of Hendrick's Gin and 4 ounces of tonic water
- juice of 1/2 lime
- lime wedge or cucumber round to garnish
- ice
Instructions
- Fill a tumbler with ice. Juice 1/2 a lime into the glass. Pour in the desired amount of gin & tonic water. Stir gently and garnish with a lime wedge or cucumber round.
Notes
Note that tonic is available in regular or diet (if you want to save on calories). With the other flavors in the drink, I couldn't tell the difference between the two.
