We're not talking about your standard bar G&T, or even the version with the fancy tonic like Fever Tree or Q. Today we're focusing on tonic syrups. Once you try them, you'll never go back. Don't get me wrong, I love a classic Gin & Tonic, but the syrups are where it's at. They are funkier and fun. And each syrup is different. I have four in the house now.
The best is Jack Rudy Co. Elderflower. The Elderflower brings a nice floral edge (note to self: next time I'm going to experiment making a Gin & Tonic with fancy tonic and an once of St-Germain, but that's a different post). My advice -- buy a couple different syrups and play around.
You can use the same proportions for all tonic syrups.
2oz London Dry Gin
.75-1oz Tonic Syrup
3-4oz Club Soda
Lime wedge
Build in a rocks glass over a big cube cracked with a bar spoon. Stir. Drink.
