The American writer Francis Scott Fitzgerald, the author of “The Great Gatsby”, is a true representative of the “lost generation”, giving preference to the gin and tonic cocktail. The classic luxury of this drink became a symbol of the non-turbo spirit of the jazz age, as Fitzgerald so masterfully described in his works.
Gin and tonic wine in the 18th century in India, where British officers lived it as a prophylactic careful protection against malaria. The quinine water that was brewed in New Year took its revenge on the quinine, which gave it a bitter taste.
And since 2010, they began to mark the world's gin and tonic day on the 19th of June. Light, refreshing, with a pleasant bitterness, the cocktail is very easy to prepare at home. The wine is wonderfully refreshing on hot summer days, but can also be a great choice for evening drinking.
Ingredients:
• 60 ml of gin;
• tonic for relish ;
• ice;
• lime for decoration.
Fill the stones with ice. Pour in the gin and tonic. Stir and garnish with a slice of lime. Also try making the Mimosa cocktail, which Truman Capote adored.
