Ingredients
For a balanced gin and tonic, you’ll need:
- 1.7 oz (50 ml) of Safe Place Gin
- Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water
- Thin lemon peel
- Large ice cubes
Tip: The larger the ice cubes, the slower they melt, preserving the gin’s flavor.
How to Prepare Your Gin and Tonic
1. Chill the glass
Start by filling the glass with large ice cubes. Let the glass chill for a few seconds.
2. Add the lemon peel
Lightly squeeze a thin strip of lemon peel over the glass to release its essential oils, then place it inside.
This small detail adds freshness without masking the gin’s aromas.
3. Add the Safe Place Gin
Add 1.7 oz (50 ml) of Safe Place Gin.
At this moment, you’ll begin to notice the aromatic notes inspired by the Gerês and Montalegre mountains.
4. Top with tonic water
Slowly add the Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water.
Pour the tonic water gently to preserve carbonation.
5. Stir delicately
Use a bar spoon or gently swirl the glass to integrate all the flavors.
Your gin and tonic is ready.
