Directions

5 min.
1. Step

To get started, make sure your glass gin glass is well chilled. This is key to keeping your drink at the perfect temperature and is especially important if you're using a high-quality gin.

2. Step

Fill the glass to 3/4 height with ice cubes. Practice has shown me that this amount of ice is best to keep the drink properly chilled, but not too diluted.

3. Step

Add gin. Remember that the quality of the gin is important for the taste of the final drink.

4. Step

Add the juice squeezed from a quarter of a lime.

5. Step

Carefully pour in the tonic, trying not to get the bubbles. The art of pouring the tonic in a controlled manner so that the drink is impressively saturated with bubbles and the ingredients blend well together.

6. Step

Place a slice of lime on the rim of the glass.
