With a brilliantly cold gin and tonic comes the promise of celebration; whether it’s as a pre-lunch drink on a Sunday (because Sunday lunch is cause for celebration, isn’t it?) or the first tipple of the evening at a wedding party, a lovingly prepared G&T is, for me, the ultimate in summer party refreshment.
It’s just that little bit fancier than a glass of wine or a beer and, when made with good gin and a worthy tonic – because not all are equal – it offers all the glamour of a cocktail, with nearly none of the effort because who wants to be whisking egg whites anyway?
