How to Make Gin Tonic Home | Pro | Expert

Fill a double wax glass with ice.

Pour 1.5 oz of blue coat gin into the glass.

Add 3 oz of Q Tonic (or adjust to personal preference).

Roll a lime a few times before cutting it.

Cut the lime into a wedge or wheel for garnish.

Drink the gin and tonic immediately after preparation.

For the second version, prepare clear ice using a towel, long knife, and mallet.

Measure the size of the ice piece using a highball glass.

Cut the ice piece by moving the knife back and forth without applying much pressure.

Turn the ice and cut the other side similarly.

Gently tap the ice in different spots to break it apart.

Use the knife to remove imperfections from the ice while holding it with a towel.

Place the clear ice into a chilled highball glass.

Pour 1.5 oz of Hrix gin into the glass.

Add 3 oz of tonic water (or tonic syrup mixed with soda water).

Lightly mix the gin from bottom to top without stirring hard.

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge if desired.

Add 1 dash of Angostura bitters if preferred.

For the third version, prepare lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit for garnish.

Cut a lime wheel from each fruit, ensuring they fit in the highball glass.

Use a custom cookie cutter to shape the fruit if necessary.

Freeze the fruit wheels for a few hours.

Place the frozen fruit wheels one by one into the glass with clear ice.

Pour 1.5 oz of premium gin from Iceland (Angelica) into the glass.

Add elderflower tonic instead of regular tonic water.
