Ingredients  

  • 2 oz gin
  • 4-5 oz quality tonic water, chilled
  • 1 lime wedge or lemon slice
  • ice cubes (preferably large)

Method 

  1. Fill a tall glass to the top with ice cubes - this keeps the drink cold without diluting it too fast.
  2. Pour the gin over the ice.
  3. Top with chilled tonic water, pouring slowly down the side of the glass to keep the fizz.
  4. Squeeze the lime wedge over the drink, drop it in, and stir gently once.
  5. Serve immediately.
