Unwind with a Perfect Gin and Tonic: Your Ultimate Guide
Hey party people! Had one of those days where everything just feels like too much? Same here. Before we crash and head to dreamland, let's unwind with a classic drink that’s been my go-to at every gathering: the Gin and Tonic.
Why Gin and Tonic?
Honestly, this cocktail is a lifesaver. It’s refreshing, super easy to whip up, and perfect whether you're chilling solo or entertaining friends.
What You’ll Need:
- Gin: I’m all about Gordon’s Orange Gin lately, but pick your favorite!
- Tonic Water: Schweppes tonic water is my top choice for that perfect fizz.
- Lime Wedge: Adds that essential zesty kick!
Here’s How You Do It:
- Grab Your Glass: Any glass works, but a highball glass is ideal.
- Pour the Gin: I’m all for eyeballing it—seriously, just go with what feels right. If you want a starting point, aim for about 1.5 ounces (a shot) of gin.
- Add Ice: Fill that glass up with ice cubes to keep your drink nice and cold.
- Top with Tonic: Pour in the tonic water. A good rule is 1 part gin to 3 parts tonic, but hey, adjust to your taste.
- Garnish with Lime: Squeeze in a lime wedge and drop it in.
Enjoy Your Drink!
And there you have it—a delicious Gin and Tonic, ready to go! Kick back, relax, and enjoy. Cheers to unwinding and having a great night! 🍹
