Chef’s Tips

• Fill the glass with ice. More ice means less dilution.
• Use a fresh, very cold bottle of tonic. Flat tonic ruins the drink.
• Stir once, gently. More knocks the fizz out.

Common Substitutions & Variations

• Lemon is the everyday swap for lime in this kind of dish — the acidity plays the same role even though the flavour is not identical.

Pairing Suggestions

• Olives
• Salted nuts
• Smoked salmon canapés

Storage & Reheating

Best drunk at once. It cannot be stored.
