I could take a nap waiting for that guy to finish making a drink for me. And then to top it off he puts a silly decoration and two huge straws in the thing.
1) Use a lime not a lemon.
2) If your gin and your tonic are chilled, you don't need ice at all. Bars put ice in drinks because they can use less product that way and make more money.
3) Why are you stirring a G&T? The pouring action of the tonic water in the glass will stir it well enough.

I usually use 1 part gin to 2 parts tonic and think that's great. I usually use Bombay Sapphire, so it might be somewhat different if you do it with Gordon's. And of course it varies from taste to taste and we've all got our favorite recipes for it.
Cheers, drink responsibly! :)

More surface area on the ice (such as with hollow ice) means the ice will melt faster, which is why Japanese bars use relatively large pieces of chipped ice for cocktails, and use a single sphere of ice for straight drinks, like whiskey, which they so enjoy.

Yeah, right ... that's why most of the Bartenders prefer to use solid ice cubes in longdrinks .. because it dissolves the drink faster than hollow ice cubes .... WRONG dude...

Read the the reply from drinkadrink, he says the same thing about hollow ice cubes as me.
Keep messing up your G&T

Sorry Dude, (Buffaloeox) but I think that you've got no idea what you're talking about.

You wan't to cool the drink and don't want to make the G&T all watery.
That's why he uses hollow ice cubes
why a lemon? Use a lime!
And why do you use hollow ice cubes??
And talking about Gin quality ... Gordon's??? OH COME ON!

Hi eric1983,
experiencing a Gin & Tonic with lime could be interesting but not "standard"!
Talking about a "quality gin" does'nt mean that you can't use a standard one or just the one you have at home!
The ice must be hollow because you need it just to make the drink cold, not to cover it with cold water.
Anyway drinkadrink's recipes are taken from the Italian National Association of Barmen (A.I.B.E.S.), so, for more information, check the AIBES web site.

D@D:
In long drinks like Gin & Tonic the cl of alchool are not important. It just depends about your taste. In order to have a good cocktail take care about the Gin quality!
THANK YOU!
