Gin and tonic is one of the most popular cocktails on the market, and if you still haven’t mastered the art of making it—now’s the time. If you feel like your gin and tonic is missing something to be perfect, here are five tips and tricks that can help you take your cocktail to new heights.
Quality Gin
The gin you’re using can make or break your cocktail, and it takes some time to find one that works for you. London dry gin is a timeless classic, but you can also put a twist on your drink with floral varieties.
Tonic Choice
Tonic water is the main ingredient of your cocktail, and your gin and tonic will fall flat if you don’t make the right choice. Schweppes is the safest option because it offers a wide variety of different flavors for everyone’s taste.
Ice Dilemma
Ice clubs will keep your drink cold, but you shouldn’t go overboard because they’ll dilute your drink after melting away.
Glass Choice
Gin and tonic is usually served in highball glasses or balloon-shaped glasses because they’ll allow the aromas to develop, while also leaving room to add more garnishes.
Extra Garnishes
Speaking of garnish, orange and lemon peels are the most popular choice, but you can use everything from rosemary and cucumber to mint and barriers.
