Ingredients
- 60 ml gin I used Gordons
- 30 ml Cointreau
- 30 ml fresh lime juice
- 300 ml tonic I used diet
- ice
- lime wheels to garnish optional
- salt to rim glass optional
Instructions
- Salt the rim of the glass (optional) see instructions in post above.
- Place ice in glass, then pour in gin (60ml/2oz), Cointreau (30ml/1oz) and fresh lime juice (30ml/1oz).
- Give everything a little swirl in the glass to mix, then top with tonic.
- Garnish with lime wheel if using.
Notes
- To be honest, for this cocktail I just chuck everything in the glass and give it a bit of a swirl then add the tonic and drink! You could get all fancy and shake it up in a cocktail shaker if you have one (I don't).
- No Cointreau? Use Triple Sec or Grand Marnier instead.
- I have garnished these drinks with a slice of lime on the glass itself as well as a lime wheel on the rim.
- You can get super fancy and salt the rims of the glasses. I have included instructions for this in the post above.
- I also like a really cold cocktail, so I like to chill the gin too.
