1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Fill a tall, narrow, chilled glass with ice cubes (almost to the top). Add gin, then tonic and lime juice, stirring well.
  2. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.

    Note *

    To make tonic ice cubes, simply fill an empty ice cube tray with tonic water and place it in the freezer. It will take a few hours to freeze. Tightly sealed, the cubes will stay fresh and tasty for at least several weeks.
