The Perfect Gin 'n Tonic recipe!
December 14, 2006
I think it's time, to leave back for a while the technology buzz...
Well, in warm places, icy cocktails are one of the best pleasures you can have.
I know to mix very good only 4 cocktails, and one of these is Gin 'n Tonic and I'll share with all of you today, my old "secret" recipe :-)
You need:
1. Some Collin/Highball glasses or just tall glasses for water
2. some lemons [well washed]
3. ice-cubes [a lot :-)]
4. Gin [I prefer Bombay Sapphire but if you want strong taste you can try Tangueray]
4. Some Tonic cans [I prefer Tuborg]
and now the recipe [with its secrets...]
1. Cut a lemon slice and squeeze it into the glass, to get out all its oil and juice and after this put it at the bottom of the glass
2. Full with ice cubes till the edges of the glass [i repeat: till the edges!]
3. Squeeze a half lemon above of the ice cubes. Wait for 30 secs.
4. Fill the 1/3 of the glass with Gin [how much strong do you want your cocktail?]
5. Fill the rest of glass with Tonic
6. Gently stir the mixture with the knife you have cut the lemon
Thats it!
Now you know, how to make the PERFECT Gin 'n Tonic!
Cheers! ...and please drink carefully...

I use limes myself, otherwise my recipe is pretty much the same.
People are always amazed at the quality of our house Gin and Tonic when they are visiting. They never seem to believe me when I tell them that the secret is simply to use good quality ingredients, (specifically the tonic), and ridiculous amounts of ice.
A good gin and tonic is a subtle art, but not actually a complicated one. :)

Eons ago while a pup in the military I hated beer and couldn't stand whiskey. A friend introduced me to Steinhager when we were eating out in Augsberg, (FRG).
For years I committed the sin of straight up doses of gods liquid gold with a chaser of cold lime drink. The years passed and I eventually developed a taste for good Kentucky sipping bourbon. Last night I opened a package from a friend in Bavaria. After 45 years!! A blessing in an earthenware bottle!! Schwarze-Schlichte by any other name, its still exquisite, is a nectar.

I disagree. The only way to ruin a G&T is to forget the gin.

hy, first, my farvorte G&T = Bombay + Schweppes lite
second place for gordon and schappes ;)
as much as i adore bombay, you should try to organise a little party where you invite your friends an let them try different G&T's
i mean different Gin's AND different Tonic's
you'll see that sometimes cheap gin (boatsman or red tower) and great tonic (i prefer schweppes) make a far better combination than bombay and sucky tonic..
if u want to cut off the budget, buy cheap gin ;)
