As always, try to get the best gin you can find. Here I used a bottle of Inverroche Gin from a small distillery close to our holiday home in Stilbaai (in the Western Cape) but Hendricks is also a fantastic option (I’m also a fan of Gordon’s which proper gin enthusiasts might be shocked by but I am only a fan, not an enthusiast). I like to use lemon in mine and the cucumber adds a delicious, freshness that just compliments the gin so well. The perfect drink, in my opinion.
Ingredients
Method
- Pour the gin into two glasses then top with a wedge of lemon and two slices of cucumber.
- Add the ice then pour over the tonic water
- Squeeze in a little more fresh lemon juice and serve immediately
