Ingredients

  • 2 oz Ice cold gin (stored in freezer)
  • 5 oz Ice cold tonic water (stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator)
  • 3 Sprigs of fresh tarragon
  • 1 Squeeze of lime

Instructions

  • Rub the tarragon sprigs gently around the inside and rim of a chilled glass, reserving one for garnish.
  • Add the ice cold gin to the glass, then gently pour the tonic water into the gin by titling the glass and pouring it down the side.
  • Gently add ice (slide it slowly down the side of the glass) and lime (adding them last keeps the carbonation high and mixes the ingredients best).
  • Garnish with tarragon and (optional) peppercorns or juniper berries.
