What is the definition of Gin and Tonic
The meaning of Gin and Tonic is:
”a highball cocktail consisting of gin, tonic water, ice and a slice of lime”.
Gin and Tonic
The cocktail therefore has different names, but contains 3 ingredients. A slice of lime is always used for garnish. You can add the lime as a slice to the glass or squeeze it briefly beforehand. Alternatively, there is also a possibility to use lemon, only this is not according to the original recipe. There are two reasons for using lemons. The first is that these are often easier to get than limes. In addition, a lemon is often cheaper. So if you want to have the total experience, I recommend using lime!
The history of the cocktail dates back to the time of the British East India Company in India. At the time, the drink was used to prevent illness. Sugar was later added to it to make it less bitter. It was better to drink that way. Today it is a popular summer cocktail. I will no longer hold you up for the recipe! Below you can find the recipe!
