Perfect Gin And Tonic Recipes

Steps:

• Add ice to 4 stemless white wine glasses.
• Divide the gin, tonic, club soda and lime juice evenly among the glasses and stir. Garnish each with a lime twist.

Steps:

• Place the ice cubes in a tall, narrow, chilled glass (the cubes should come near the top.) Add the gin, then the tonic water, then the lime juice, stirring well. Garnish with lime wedge, and serve immediately.
• Note: To make the ice cubes, simply fill an empty ice cube tray with tonic water, and let the cubes freeze. It takes just a few hours. Covered well, the cubes will remain fresh-tasting in the freezer for at least a few weeks.

Steps:

• Chill the glass. You may want to fill it with ice, then empty it and refill, as some bartenders do with a martini glass.
• Fill the glass with whole ice cubes. If you wish, take a wedge of lime and moisten the rim the glass with it.
• Pour the gin over the ice, which should be cold enough that it crackles when the liquor hits it.
• Fill glass almost to the top with tonic.
• Squeeze one wedge of lime into the glass. Drop the squeezed lime into the drink as a garnish if you like; it's not necessary, but can add a bit of extra flavor. (If you do, notes Dale DeGroff, make sure the peel has been washed.) Serve.
