Tequila & Tonic

Prep time:

Drier than a Paloma and more interesting than a Gin & Tonic. Agave and the bitterness of quinine understand each other surprisingly well.

Ingredients

  • 50 ml blanco tequila, 100% agave
  • 120 ml well-chilled tonic water
  • Large ice cubes
  • Half a slice of grapefruit or lime

Preparation

  1. Chill the glass first with ice and a little water, then tip it out. Thirty seconds you will taste right to the end.
  2. Fill the glass to the top with ice and pour in the tequila.
  3. Add the tonic slowly, down the side of the glass, to keep the fizz.
  4. Give it one turn with a bar spoon, from the bottom up, and no more.
  5. Squeeze the grapefruit over the drink and drop it in. Lime works too, but grapefruit is what makes it special.
