Cocktail Recipe: Hot G&T

The mystery miniature included in December’s Nautilus Smugglers’ Box gin club was some tonic syrup so the shipmates could make a hot gin and tonic. The Hot G&T is a modern update on a classic cocktail - the Gin Twist, popular in the 19th century, which consisted of gin, lemon juice, sugar and hot water.

Hot G & T

Ingredients

• 50ml - Secret Garden Seasonal Gin

• 25ml (half the miniature) - Jeffrey’s Indian Tonic Syrup

• Sugar

• Twist of clementine

Pour the gin and tonic into a heat proof glass or even just a mug. Fill with freshly boiled water. Add sugar to taste. I like to add 2 teaspoons. Garnish with a twist of clementine.
