Ultimate Gin & Tonic
Chef José Andres
Chef José’s favorite gin & tonic takes a citrus-forward approach to the cocktail. The tropical aroma of Kaffir lime leaves from Thailand is perfect for a summer sunset.
How to Make It
1
Pour gin over ice (preferably a single large ice cube).
2
Arrange the garnish on top of the ice cube, rolling the Makrut leaf or smacking the verbena sprig to add aroma.
