Tequila and Tonic

April is the time when a Gin and Tonic begins to be chosen more or less by default. Be a bit more adventurous with your favourite tonic water and try out other easy combinations when you need a long drink. Start off with tequila and notice how the bitterness of quinine blends smoothly with the spicy, peppery, earthy taste of the agave spirit. A little lime adds extra freshness to the drink.

4 cl tequila

8 cl tonic water

Lime wedge

Fill a highball glass with ice. Squeeze the line wedge over the ice, and drop it in. Add the tonic water, and stir gently.
