Questions about Gin and tonic
How do you make a gin and tonic that stays fizzy?
Fill a tall glass right to the top with large ice cubes, pour in gin, then add chilled tonic slowly down the side. Give it just one gentle stir; too much stirring knocks out the bubbles.
Which garnish goes best with a gin and tonic?
A wedge or slice of lime is the classic choice. Lemon, cucumber or a sprig of rosemary also works; press citrus lightly over the glass to release its oils, rather than squeezing out lots of juice.
Can you make a gin and tonic with soda water instead of tonic?
Yes, but it will be much less sweet and will lack tonic’s characteristic bitter edge. Add a squeeze of lime or lemon if you want a brighter flavour.
How should you store tonic water once it is open?
Put the cap on tightly and refrigerate it. It is best used soon after opening, while it is still fizzy; flat tonic makes a dull gin and tonic.
What food goes well with a gin and tonic?
Its citrus and bitter notes suit salty nibbles such as olives, crisps and salted nuts. It also pairs nicely with smoked salmon or prawns, especially when served with lemon.
Why does a gin and tonic sometimes turn cloudy?
Citrus oils released from a peel or garnish can make the drink look cloudy, particularly when the glass is very cold. This is a normal change in appearance, not a sign that the drink has gone off.
Can you prepare gin and tonics ahead of time for a party?
Prepare the garnishes and chill the gin, tonic and glasses, but mix each drink just before serving. If you combine them early, the ice melts and the tonic loses its fizz.
