Notes

The quality of tonic water makes a big difference in this drink. Choose a premium brand for the best taste.
Keep citrus fruits at room temperature before juicing to get more juice.
Store gin in a cool, dark place. An opened bottle stays fresh for up to 2 years.
For less bitter taste, remove the white pith from citrus garnishes before adding them to the drink.
