Commiserations to England who are out of the World Cup after loosing to Portugal in another nail biting penalty shoot out they were unlucky.
Here is what I was sipping during the match.
Lots of crushed ice and a twist of lime makes this truly a refreshing drink.
I used Bombay Sapphire rather than Gordon’s Gin here as it has a smoother flavour and I prefer lime slices to lemon.
GIN & TONIC
- 1 1/2 measures of Bombay Sapphire Gin
- 3 measures Indian Tonic Water
- Lime Slices
Another slight twist on a traditional gin & tonic is this little number known as The Bigs Special. I used Hendricks gin for this since it has a mild fresh flavour.
THE BIG SPECIAL
- 2 Measures Hendricks Gin
- 2 Measures Indian Tonic Water
- Dash of Fresh Orange
- Lime slices to garnish
- Crushed ice

The German’s were a bit more lucky
To celebrate, I tried your Gin Tonic w/ the Bombay Sapphire ( had to go out to buy one ). You’re right, it’s way better than Gordons.
Thanks !
If you can get it try Plymouth Gin for the nicest G&T, it is vastly better than Gordons/Tanqeray/Bombay. And avoid Gordon’s Distillers Cut, nice bottle, nasty Gin.
Thanks for the tip!!
