Life style
Despite the frank simplicity of this easy mix (a simple
mixed drink), adding exclusivity to it is not a difficult task
– Kazakhstan bars serve gin and tonic with a slice of
cucumber, slices of lemon and orange, berries or a sprig of
thyme. But anyone can also enjoy this sumptuous cocktail
at home for parties and events, the simplest yet most
elegant classic.
Now let's turn to how to choose the right gin. As already
mentioned, changing the aroma of a cocktail is quite
simple. The main thing is that the base of the drink correctly
responds to the changes. Due to the fact that Beefeater
gin stores a dozen botanicals (plant components) in its
heart, combined into a complex but luxurious composition,
experiments with various fillers and tonics will be enjoyed
with 100% success.
A traditional and very attractive serving of gin and tonic
remains serving in a wine glass, which is called ‘Gin and
Tonic Spanish style’, but of course, you can use a standard
tall glass (highball).
Be sure to save the Beefeater – Tonic Cocktail recipe:
• Fill a glass of wine or a tall glass (highball) with ice to
the top.
• Measure out 50 ml of Beefeater gin (you can use a
standard glass as a measuring tool) and pour it into the
glass.
• Top up with tonic water and gently mix.
• Garnish with a slice of orange or lemon. If you want
to give the drink berry notes you can use raspberries or
strawberries. If you want to plunge into aromatic notes,
then thyme, rosemary and even fresh cucumber will be an
ideal choice.
Cheers!
