okay so today we're gonna give you some tips on how to make the absolute best gin and tonic I gin and tonic is one of my favorite drinks for a variety of reasons you know it's just crisp and fresh and refreshing you know keeps your mouth tasting fresh throughout the night you know unlike with beer and some other things here you know just kind of start tasting yet the in your mouth after a while also in the summer you know it's a crisp refreshing drink the other thing I like it's not overly sweet and you can drink these all night long and another added bonus you know they say clear liquors and liquors without a lot of sugars tend to be less likely to get the hangover so it's another reason to drink the gin and tonics it's a pretty simple drink you know basically what two ingredients minus the ice you basically have the gin and tonic and you know maybe alignment you like Al I'm the one of the most important ingredients in the gin and tonic is the tonic water I willing pause and take a sip here hi when you're looking for tonic water you're gonna want to get tonic water without high fructose corn syrup makes a world of difference and tastes much better I was about midnight I just had a taste for some gin tonics a little bit ago so I just ran down to the corner store and of course that's all they have you know it's a really nice really highly rated fancy inexpensive gin I'm sorry tallaght you can buy online but there's no need to go that you know to buy the stuff online and buy the expensive stuff just go to either trader joes or whole foods and they have some great tasting tonic water with natural sugar not high fructose corn syrup for pretty cheap prices so either trader joes or whole foods is where you want to go for your your tonic water I try to stay away from that canada dry and i forget what the other common Brendan supermarket to slip my mind obviously pretty much the only other ingredient is going to be gin and a lot of people like bombed by bombay sapphire because it comes in a fancy you know blue frosted glass it's more expensive that's kind of the high-end one for gin and tonics if you aren't going to use bombay you're better off using the regular bombay the dry gin outcomes in like a white and red bottle a lot of people I notice on youtube and just in general like using the sapphire sapphire is definitely not the best ones to make a gin and tonic with you know it's got too many different different flavors and stuff in there it also is kind of an alcohol and kind of a chemical taste when one made with in gin tonic I don't know personally I'm just not a fan of it but I think most people would agree you should be using the Dry Gin you could use just the regular Bombay Bombay dry gin that stuff makes pretty good gin and tonic personally I really like the the Beefeater it's really cheap this stuff this wasn't even achieve and what this said just kind of the corner liquor store there's a little bit more expensive but as you can see it's 2499 for a fifth I believe this bottle right here the small little pint or whatever it is was probably a lot the same price of this whole fifth the regular Bombay is slightly cheaper but still isn't isn't isn't nearly as cheap as a Beefeater as I MV theater has the best taste you also can't beat the price let's see if then he also got the lime a lot of people cut big old lime wedges like the size of the size of a lime wedge new corona bottle my personal opinion yeah I guess whatever tastes good use you know you don't drink it that way if you like a lot of line put a lot of lime in there but personally get lens from the grocery store not the liquor store you're not really wanting the juice from the actual lime you're kind of wanting more the the liquid and zest from the you know from the skin personally I like to cut cut a piece of lime and not even have very much of the pulp but have mostly skin twisted over the top of the gin and tonic and you're basically just wanting to get the zest and the oils from the skin you really don't even want the lime juice that much personally I lime juice is a little bit too much adds a little bit too much of a lime flavor to the drink what you really want to do is just cut a thin piece and the reason you're going to get the line from the grocery store is because the lines in the grocery store a little bit fresher as you can see here and as you probably know if you've seen fruit on the counter and liquor stores it's always some pretty dried out fruits the skin always looks like leather you're going to want to get a fresh line where the skin still has some oils and things in it but they do there's some tips on how to make the the best gin and tonic that's one of the best drinks you can get out there like I said I'm not
