Recipe No 119 alcoholic drink

Gin and tonic

This recipes makes it easy to prepare a big pitcher of gin and tonic in any size, and prepare the right amount of cucumber. The Fever-Tree brand tonic water is optional, but considered by connoisseurs to be one of the best. Of course, it doesn’t have to be Hendrick’s Gin, but this drink just doesn’t seem to work as well with other brands of gin.
