PRO TIPS
What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use a tall glass, like a highball or Collins glass, to keep the drink cold and bubbly.
- 2Always chill your gin and tonic water beforehand for the most refreshing drink.
- 3The quality of your gin and tonic water makes a huge difference. Opt for a premium brand for the best flavor.
- 4Don't over-stir the drink, as this will cause the tonic water to lose its carbonation quickly.
- 5Experiment with garnishes like cucumber ribbons, a sprig of rosemary, or grapefruit peel for a different flavor profile.
