This classic cocktail gets an extra-long lemon twist for even more freshness.
1
Fill a glass with ice and swirl to chill the glass. Dump out the ice. Use a vegetable peeler to remove one 5-inch long strip of zest. Twist and squeeze the zest over the glass, then rub it around its rim. Reserve the lemon zest.
2
Fill the glass two-thirds with ice, then add the gin. Pour in the tonic along a spoon, then stir twice. Add the reserved zest and serve immediately.
Look for Fever Tree tonics in specialty stores or online.
