Classic gin and tonic: 3 ways
Alcoholic beverages
It's high time you made yourself a nice cocktail, don't you think? I mean, it's almost 5'oclock, and it's almost Friday at that. The G&T is certainly not a complicated cocktail, but when it's done right there is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer afternoon. But this post is more than just a plain ol' G&T. Because as simple as it is, you can subtly flavor it with just about anything: fruit, vegetables, or fresh herbs. We tried the whole muddling thing and frankly it just came out kind of... muddled. Not the crisp flavor that you'd expect from a good gin and tonic. Rather, flavored gin-tonics should be treated more like infused waters: letting the flavoring element, whether it be fruit, vegetable, or citrus peel, permeate the alcohol on its own terms. If you like a stronger flavor, give it a good stir and let it sit a few minutes (add more ice if you need it). The longer it sits, the more pronounced the flavor will be. Barcelona adores their gin and tonics, and that's what inspired
