How to make it
Squeeze lime into the glass, add gin and ice, and finish with chilled tonic. Lift gently with a spoon.
Glass: Balloon glass. Ice: Fresh cubes unless otherwise stated. Garnish: Squeezed lime wedge.
Flavor & balance
- Bitter (dominant): Bitter aperitif, amaro or tonic supplies an intentional bitter counterweight.
- Earthy / Herbal (dominant): Botanicals, fresh herbs or the base spirit give aromatic plant character; this is not a basic taste.
- Sour (Acidic) (supporting): The lime wedge provides an optional citrus accent; its juice yield is not a measured sour base.
Assess sweetness, bitterness and tactile drying separately. These flavor expectations are based on recipe structure, not measured tasting scores. Actual products, ice and dilution will change the result.
Preparation & batching
Service complexity: low. Batchability: spirit components only.
- Measure and label the chosen product specification; chill appropriate glassware.
- Prepare and measure fresh fruit components for the service plan; do not assume a fruit count guarantees a juice volume.
Add carbonated ingredients at service; do not shake or store the finished fizzy drink as a still batch. Workload is an editorial assessment; no labor timing or storage validation is claimed.
