Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 2 ounces london dry gin
• tonic water (from a fresh bottle)
• 1 -2 ample lime wedge
• cold ice cube

Recipe

• 1 chill the glass. you may want to fill it with ice, then empty it and refill, as some bartenders do with a martini glass.
• 2 fill the glass with whole ice cubes. if you wish, take a wedge of lime and moisten the rim the glass with it.
• 3 pour the gin over the ice, which should be cold enough that it crackles when the liquor hits it.
• 4 fill glass almost to the top with tonic.
• 5 squeeze one wedge of lime into the glass. drop the squeezed lime into the drink as a garnish if you like; itâ??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.
