Gin and Tonic

The history of the gin and tonic cocktail is closely linked to modern British history.

It is a product of soldiers stationed in India who mixed their medicinal dose of quinine water to ward off malaria with their daily ration of gin.

Fast forward to the present day, the gin & tonic is more popular than ever.

Here is the recipe of the classic Gin and Tonic:

Ingredients:

• 150ml of Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water
• 50ml of a classic London Dry gin
• Plenty of fresh ice
• A twist of lime peel

How To:

1. Fill your glass to the top with large ice cubes – the more ice, the longer your drink stays refreshingly cool.
2. Pour over a measure of gin (1/4) followed by the Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water (3/4)
3. Add lime garnish to finish and enjoy

Top Tip: Peel a strip from the outside of the lime, twist it over the top of the glass to spritz the sweet citrus oil into the drink, then drop into the glass.
