Ingredients

4 to 5 tonic water Ice Cubes (recommended: Schweppes) (see Note)
3 ounces gin (recommended: Plymouth Gin)
4 ounces tonic water (recommended: Schweppes)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Lime wedge for garnish

Directions

Place the ice cubes in a tall, narrow, chilled glass (the cubes should come near the top.) Add the gin, then the tonic water, then the lime juice, stirring well. Garnish with lime wedge, and serve immediately.

Note: To make the ice cubes, simply fill an empty ice cube tray with tonic water, and let the cubes freeze. It takes just a few hours. Covered well, the cubes will remain fresh-tasting in the freezer for at least a few weeks.

Gin and F***ing Tonic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I must say, having been a G & T fan for decades I have never come across the frozen tonic ice cube thing before. What an... amazing idea. I don't enjoy slamming down a drink but you almost have to with ice. When you're paying for the good stuff it's nice to finish a mix drink with the same flavor you started with. So thanks to the person who thought of it. From this point on I will never again have a weak homemade G & T. PEACE-OUTRead more
