Or what has been your go to lately? I’m usually a whiskey and ginger kinda guy but I’m trying to branch out a little these days. What’re you drinking?
Currently sipping on a Paloma:
- 1.5 oz Tequila (blanco)
- .5oz lime juice
- 4 oz Grapefruit soda (Jarritos today)
- Pinch of salt
Get you some tonic syrup and kick that gin & tonic game up to 11. So worth it!
Do you have a recommendation? I’ve actually been looking so I can make my own tonic water.
I’ve heard liber and co is good, can’t personally attest to it though. My go to is jack rudy’s. FYI the recipe on the bottle says .75 syrup to 2oz gin. Do yourself a favor and bump that up to 1 oz. A good quality gin is going to dominate the flavor and mask the bitterness. I usually do 3 oz soda water( the only cocktail I measure the soda on lol) and a barspoon of lime juice. Let the ice handle the rest of the dilution
Seconding Jack Rudy’s. While you’re doing yourself a favor, do yourself a favor and try 0.75oz syrup and 0.75oz st. Germain. That extra floral note is great with some gins (I’ve tried citadelle and malfy with this recipe to great success)
That sounds like a great idea! Gin and st Germain are a match made in heaven
