Add this easy gin and tonic recipe to your repertoire
It may be that you don’t really need a recipe for gin and tonic, unless it’s to make sure you get that spirit-to-mixer ratio just right. Like all the great drinks, a good gin and tonic is worth taking your time over, whether it’s choosing the perfect gin, adding fresh lemon or lime, or trying different tonics until you find your favourite. Here’s where this gin and tonic with a twist comes in. Orange and ginger share the same spicy and citrusy flavour profile, so we’ve teamed them with Tasmanian dry gin to create a playful and refreshing twist on the traditional G&T. Any tonic will work, but delicate-tasting Mediterranean tonic is our pick thanks to the hints of rosemary and lemon thyme that complement the citrus flavours. If you don’t have ginger cordial handy, you could try making an orange and ginger cocktail by swapping the tonic for ginger beer.
