Pink Gin And Tonic Cocktail Recipe
Creating a Pink Gin and Tonic is both fun and rewarding! This beautiful drink combines gin, tonic, and a hint of pink for a refreshing twist. In this guide, I’ll share the tools you need, the right ingredients, and step-by-step instructions to make your own.
Equipment
- Glass: A highball or large wine glass works best.
- Jigger: This is for measuring the gin accurately.
- Mixing Spoon: A long-handled spoon helps mix everything well.
- Ice: Regular cubes are perfect, or use crushed ice for a different twist.
Ingredients
Here’s what I need to make this delightful cocktail:
- 2 oz gin: I like a premium brand for a smooth taste.
- 4 oz tonic water: It adds fizz and balances the gin.
- Splash of pink syrup: Grenadine or raspberry syrup works well.
- Lime wedges: For garnish and a burst of citrus.
- Fresh fruits: Optional like raspberries or strawberries for extra flavor.
This combination creates a perfectly balanced drink that’s not too sweet and not too strong. 🍹
Instructions
Making a Pink Gin and Tonic is easy with these steps:
- Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the gin over the ice using a jigger.
- Add the tonic water slowly to keep the bubbles.
- Stir gently with the mixing spoon to blend.
- Splash some pink syrup to give it color and sweetness.
- Garnish with lime wedges and add any fresh fruits if you like.
And just like that, I'm ready to enjoy my drink! Remember, the key is to mix gently to keep those bubbles intact. ✨
Notes
A few tips I've learned along the way:
