Gin & Tonic
How to mix a great G&T with the right tonic, ice, and garnish. A classic drink with endless variations.
About Gin and Tonic
Gin and Tonic is one of the world’s most classic cocktails. It’s easy to make, but the choice of gin, tonic, and garnish makes all the difference. The basic recipe is simple: gin, tonic, and plenty of ice. But how you put it together really affects the final taste.
So how do you make a really good Gin and Tonic?
Start with a big glass filled with lots of ice—this keeps the drink cold without watering it down too fast. Pour in the gin, top with tonic, and finish with a garnish that complements the flavors.
The classic version uses lemon or lime, but many people like cucumber, especially with gins that have strong juniper and herbal notes. You can also try rosemary, raspberries, or elderflower for a different twist.
Swedish bartender David Kringlund points out how important it is to choose a tonic that balances the gin without overpowering it. A good tonic lifts the flavors and lets the gin shine through.
Gin and Tonic is a drink with endless variations. Perfect on a warm summer evening, but just as good all year round. With the right tonic and gin, it’s easy to make this classic your own.

How to
Fords London Dry Gin
After working in the spirits industry for over 20 years, founder Simon Ford realized that the ultimate cocktail gin didn’t exist. Determined to change that, he joined forces with leading figures from the craft cocktail movement — a small group of bartenders, distillers, and professional drinks connoisseurs. After numerous recipe iterations, it was on attempt number 83 that they finally cracked the code for Fords Gin. Today, the same blend of nine botanicals is celebrated as The Cocktail Gin.

Gin Mare Mediterranean Gin - 700 ml
