Who in the world is Charles Tanqueray you ask? Well, he is the man responsible for that Tanqueray gin you’re drinking and he has a birthday coming up. His 200th birthday, in fact, and to what better way to celebrate the creator of Tanqueray gin then raising a Tanqueray and Tonic in his memory. To the man who gave us Tanqueray gin, classy cocktails for us to toast for years to come, and this Classic T&T recipe!
The Classic T&T
Ingredients:
-1.25 oz. TANQUERAY London Dry Gin
-4 oz. tonic water
-Fresh lime wedges
-High-ball glass
-Stirrer
-Ice
Recipe:
- It starts by squeezing the juice of a lime wedge into the bottom of a tapered, modern high-ball glass-designed specifically to accentuate the T&T effervescence and botanical/citrus bouquet.
- Fill the glass two-thirds with ice, then add TANQUERAY London Dry Gin and tonic water. Stir Well
- Run a wedge of lime around the rim of the glass so the fresh smell and taste of citrus greet you as you drink.
- Finally, drop a fresh piece of lime into your now perfectly mad T&T.
