How to Make the Best Gin and Tonic in 4 Steps?
How do you make a gin and tonic as quickly and easily as possible? There are many recipes and garnishes you can use, so let's see how you can prepare the best gin and tonic for your ideal apΓ©ritif!
1) Fill a balloon or long drink glass and fill it with ice. Preferably use the largest possible ice cubes, as they melt much more slowly. The more ice, the better: βice, ice babyβ!
2) Use a jigger to measure 5cl of gin. Make sure to use 1/4 gin and 3/4 tonic, as that is the ideal ratio.
3) Finally, finish your gin and tonic with a garnish. Which garnish? For this, look at the ingredients. A gin must contain juniper berries to be called a gin. This means you can never go wrong with juniper berries. Alternatively, you can also use other garnishes depending on what is in your gin. For a gin and tonic with The Ghentist, it's best to finish your gin and tonic with 2 slices of Granny Smith apple, as this accentuates the apple touch of the gin. Finally, you can also enhance the lavender and violet flavour by finishing with a small flower.
4) Stir the gin and tonic briefly with a bar spoon and achieve the ideal gin and tonic mix! The only thing left to do now is enjoy β cheers!
