An unusual twist on a classic gin and tonic, this drink uses slow-smoked ice cubes to add an extra layer of interest and flavour. With plenty of fresh, fruity lime to match the botanicals in the gin, the smoke harmonises beautifully with bitter notes of the tonic.
This cocktail uses smoked ice cubes and a smoked cocktail glass to lend the drink its unique flavour. More information on this technique can be found in my guide to smoked and barbecued cocktails which includes more recipes and smoking tips.
Small batch, citrus-heavy gin forms the base of this classic cocktail, with plenty of fresh lime wedges to emphasise the fruity botanicals in the spirit. A clean, natural tonic water, with its own touch of botanicals, will bloom the citrus flavours of the gin, while the smoked components match the bitter note of both the tonic and the gin.
