Gin & Tonic: NYC's Best

NYC’S BEST G & T

By Linnea Covington

BOQUERIA: 

Gin Tonic Albahaca: A refreshing combination of Junipero Gin, Q Tonic, lime and basil. The basil and lime are infused with the gin for 30 seconds, and one large ice cube is placed in the stemless bubble glass. Half of a bottle of the tonic water is then poured in the glass carefully, avoiding the ice cube. The drink is then served alongside the remaining tonic.

Gin Tonic Clavo: Made with Hendrick’s Gin and Fever Tree Tonic, this version is served with cloves and cucumber.

Gin Tonic Uva y Naranja: For a more citrus-forward version of the cocktail, the Gin Tonic Uva y Naranja features G’Vine ‘Nouaison’ Gin, Fever Tree Tonic, grapes, and oranges.

OCEANA:
Any gin with one of four homemade tonics—bitter, citrus, sweet, and spicy.

MANZANILLA:
Both just called gin and tonic, but the orange one is Beefeater, Campari, and grapefruit, and the clear one is Hendrick’s, cucumber, and lemon.

BATHTUB GIN:
Any gin of your choice with either Q Tonic, Fevertree, or Tomar’s Tonic.

ROCK CENTER:
Tanqueray with fresh strawberry, elderflower, tonic water, and lemon.
