THE BEST GIN AND TONIC

The best gin and tonic is all in the technique, because the most important ingredient in a G&T is not really the gin, or even the tonic. It's carbonation.

Steps:

  • Chill the glass. You may want to fill it with ice, then empty it and refill, as some bartenders do with a martini glass.
  • Fill the glass with whole ice cubes. If you wish, take a wedge of lime and moisten the rim the glass with it.
  • Pour the gin over the ice, which should be cold enough that it crackles when the liquor hits it.
  • Fill glass almost to the top with tonic.
  • Squeeze one wedge of lime into the glass. Drop the squeezed lime into the drink as a garnish if you like; it's not necessary, but can add a bit of extra flavor. (If you do, notes Dale DeGroff, make sure the peel has been washed.) Serve.
