Introduction

A classic Spanish gin like Xoriguer from Mahon in Menorca, only needs simple preparation to make a stunning gin and tonic. Xoriguer’s floral and aromatic nose, together with its warm and herbaceous notes needs a sharp citrus kick from a chunky piece of freshly cut lemon peel, some crushed juniper berries to enhance the main ingredient used in the distillation process and a crisp tonic water like Schweppes 1783.

Method

Start by rubbing very quickly the rim of the glass with some lemon peel. The oils in the lemon zest will flavour the glass.
It’s crucial to get your glass as cold as possible by initially stirring a few ice cubes around the glass to chill it. Drain out any excess water.
Fill the glass with plenty of cold ice.
Add the Xoriguer gin, then the tonic pouring it very slowly over a bar spoon to avoid losing all the carbonation.
Finally, stir the drink very gently before adding the lemon twist and the juniper berries freshly crushed.
