Jamie’s here to show you how to put together his ULTIMATE Gin & Tonic in celebration of World Gin Day, using Bombay Sapphire gin, tonic water, lime and plenty of ice. It sounds simple, but there are so many ways to elevate this drink above the average G&T you might have had before. It’s an ideal drink for summer (and spring, autumn and winter…). Created in partnership with Bacardi.
Follow Jamie’s advice and let us know how you get on! How do you make your perfect Gin & Tonic?

Lime huh…I usually use lemon. I gotta try this tonight.
that’s the first video which includes everything I read about and watched in the net, spanking a mint or basil , turning the ice to chill the glass, get rid of the fluid, not be afraid of adding some fresh lime in a special way, then not 1:3 but 1:2 that you have a quite strong g&t, the adding of a piece of lime…small details which makes the difference and thanks for explaining why bartenders use the spoon to let the tonic in….and now I want you spank a Boston shaker to open it 🙂
It’s all about the tonic. Why have a expensive gin and a discount tonic? I like a neutral tonic, not very sweet so I can taste the gin 😀
Jamie Rocks guys…. Cooking is so wonderful the way he does it.
Only Americans have Gin and Tonic with ice.
Not to be rude.
oh please no lime in the verdamte g&t.
cringe
Such an Englishman!
please jamie… come back to the food…
Jamie could you do a video with the Monkey 47?
Or pour the gin into your eye to get it into the blood stream faster, it’s pretty classy
try a whitley Neil gin with fever tree tonic and a slice of orange. it’s spankin’
outstanding!
“You don’t want to lose all the effervescence” *pours tonic down a fucking spoon and releases all the bubbles*
Those tonicwaters look really small! If they are 250 ml, which I presume, it must be 1:5 gin vs tonicwater?
searched “spanking” in the comments .. it just turned lemony yellow!
2:53………what did he just say?
mr,James…..i like your recipe each cocktail …….
Only got Bulldog gin, will that work as fine as this or should I use lemon instead?
try Nordés gin from Espana……my favourite
He literally just poured gin and tonic in a glass but tryed to make it fancy!
“I like a bit of spanking, its quite nice”
Why type of glass is that?
Can you make a video on how to make setan and tonic?
making love to his tonic and gin~
Bombay Sapphire is garbage…try the Bombay Dry Gin….thats classic and tasty..
Dr. Disrespect brought me here…
try it with cucumber!
Sheer bliss
nothing better on a hot summer day
Father-in-law Geoff used to love gin and tonic drinks
Awwww love wee G&T
1993 – 1994 (back to back)
I like tonic water but real quanine water not soft drink tonic which is unfortunately what Schweppes and shop brand commercial tonic waters mostly are. It may have a small amount of good sugars or something put in to counteract the bitterness although honestly it is the one decent soft drink that is never too sweet or even when it is as sweet as the others (most cola drinks are far too sweet) unless you have ‘k’ola extract although quanine and kola extract by quality mix are not cheap or easy to find
As far as the gin goes, Beefeater is considered a crappy gin, Bombay or what is called Blue Sapphire is reasonably standard, and Willing to Learn, albeit the silly name is not that bad I have tried it they have it in my area. Straight gin I have sipped from organic vendors has something of a floral taste – though one which is sturdy. Something like bergamot in Earl Grey tea although a different nature alltogether
A little bit agave syrup is my magic ingredient in gin tonic! Sooo good you gotta try this
