A well-deserved Gin and Tonic feels good in an afternoon or evening with friends, after a hard day at work, or any other day sitting on your sofa while enjoying a good conversation with your partner.
The situation is indifferent, what really matters is how you prepare that mystical drink since this is the number one protagonist of Spanish posturing. Who does not have a photo on Instagram with a big glass and their favorite Gin and Tonic?
Let’s see how it is prepared. The original Gin Tonic recipe is as follows:
- In an empty glass, what is added first is ice. This must be presented in its fair measure. It is essential that it does not interfere with drinking and that it keeps the drink cold for as long as it lasts.
- It is time to add a slice of lemon. The idea is to lightly rub the edge of the glass and add a few drops of juice inside. The slice can remain inside the glass as well.
- Now comes the expected moment to add the spices. Carefully add a few grains of juniper, red pepper, and cardamom. It is not convenient to abuse or grind. We recommend adding whole grain.
- Right after we serve the gin. At most, the ideal is not to exceed 60 milliliters. Otherwise, there will be a lot of Gin and little Tonic.
- Then the tonic is added. There are many kinds of tonics. In addition to the classic, you can add other flavors. Here there are no recommendations, your preferences are the ones that rule.
- Finally, it’s time to remove everything to unify flavors. If you have a cocktail stick, use it. And enjoy your Gin Tonic!
