The best Gin and Tonic cocktail recipe, which won our blind tasting of the drink, combines Tanqueray gin, tonic water and julienned lime.
1. Clean well a fat, fresh lime. Cut in half and juice both halves, setting the juice aside for another use. Julienne the spent hulls into thin strips and put into a small mixing tin or glass. Add gin and muddle well for a minute or so. 2. In a large highball glass half-filled with ice, pour the tonic water carefully at a slant, so as to not disturb the effervescence, and slip a straw down the side of the glass now. 3. Strain the gin-lime mixture over a spoon onto the top, so that it floats. With tongs or a spoon, garnish atop with the julienned strips of lime. Present as such, but mix lightly before drinking. ## Editors note: This may seem a stiff pour, but in maceration the juiced hulls will actually soak up a significant cut of the gin—up to 3/4 ounce—and can leave the drink wan if not fortified a touch.
