AdInstructions
- Wash a plump, fresh lime well and halve it. Squeeze out the juice and keep it for something else.
- Cut the squeezed peel halves into thin matchstick strips and put them in a sturdy small glass or shaker tin with the gin. Muddle firmly for about a minute.
- Half-fill a tall highball glass with ice. Tilt the glass and pour in the tonic slowly to protect the bubbles, then slide a straw down the inside.
- Pour the gin through a strainer over the back of a spoon so it settles on top of the tonic.
- Use tongs or a spoon to lay the lime strips on top. Serve, and stir lightly before drinking.
