Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Start by chilling your serving glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Simple Syrup

    If you don't have simple syrup ready, you can make it by combining equal parts of sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, pour in the tonic water, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing carbonation.

  2. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Remove the ice from your serving glass. Strain the mixed tonic into the glass, filling it up to three-quarters full.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Add Garnishes

    Garnish your tonic by adding lime wedges on the rim of the glass and placing fresh mint leaves on top for an aromatic touch.

  2. 6

    Serve Immediately

    Serve your tonic immediately while it’s still bubbly and refreshing. Enjoy!
