Insanely Good Gin & Tonic

The Insanely Good Gin & Tonic from Chaim Dauermann at New York’s Up & Up bar is exactly what it says on the tin – and so humble, too!

The secret ingredient is Suze, a gentian-forward yellow herbal liqueur that used to be impossible to find in the US, but is beginning to show up at fancier liquor stores. If you can’t find Suze, Strega or even yellow Chartreuse make fine substitutes.

Dauermann makes his own house lime cordial with fresh limes and Peruvian pisco, but you needn’t go to all that trouble. A well-made brand like BG Reynolds will do you well; just avoid the corn syrup swill that is Rose’s Lime Cordial.

Ingredients

Instructions

Add everything (except the tonic water) to a chilled tall glass. Fill with ice and top with tonic water. Garnish with a wheel or wedge of lime.

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
