Classic Gin & Tonic

The simplest way to taste a gin properly — good tonic, plenty of ice, and a peel.

Glass
Highball or copa
Difficulty
Easy
Garnish
Grapefruit peel

Ingredients

  • 50ml Field & Florence Classic London Dry
  • 150ml Chilled Indian tonic water
  • Plenty Ice

Method

Fill the glass to the top with ice — more ice keeps the drink colder and dilutes it more slowly, not less.

Pour the gin over the ice, then add the tonic by tilting the glass and pouring down the side. This keeps the bubbles in.

Stir once, gently. Twist the grapefruit peel over the surface to release the oils, then drop it in.

Made with Classic London Dry.
