History / 背景

The Gin & Tonic was born out of necessity in 19th-century British colonial India. British soldiers mixed quinine-rich tonic water — used to prevent malaria — with gin to make the bitter medicine palatable. The combination stuck, and it evolved from a medicinal drink into one of the world's most beloved and refreshing cocktails.

金汤力诞生于 19 世纪英属殖民地印度。驻扎当地的英国士兵将含有奎宁的汤力水(用于预防疟疾)与金酒混合,以掩盖药水的苦味。这个组合一直流传下来,从药用饮品演变为全世界最受欢迎的经典鸡尾酒之一。

Instructions / 步骤

English

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes — the more, the better to keep dilution low.
  2. Pour 60 ml (2 oz) of gin over the ice.
  3. Slowly top with chilled tonic water. Pour gently down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation.
  4. Give one gentle stir to combine — no more than two or three turns.
  5. Squeeze a lime wedge over the drink and drop it in.
  6. Serve immediately.

中文

  1. 在高球杯中加满冰块——冰块越多,稀释越少,口感越好。
  2. 将 60 ml(2 oz)金酒倒在冰块上。
  3. 缓慢地加入冰镇汤力水至补满。沿着杯壁倒入,以保留气泡。
  4. 轻柔搅拌一次即可——搅拌不超过两三圈。
  5. 挤一块青柠角的汁液到酒中,然后将青柠角放入杯中。
  6. 立即享用。

Pro Tips / 进阶技巧

  • Choose your tonic wisely / 选对汤力水: A quality tonic (Fever-Tree, Schweppes, Q Tonic) makes a huge difference. Cheap tonic will ruin even the best gin. 高品质汤力水(如 Fever-Tree、屈臣氏、Q Tonic)至关重要,低质量的汤力水会毁掉再好的金酒。
  • Gin-to-tonic ratio / 金酒与汤力水比例: A classic ratio is 1:2 or 1:3 (gin to tonic). Adjust to your taste. 经典比例为 1:2 或 1:3(金酒:汤力水),可根据个人口味调整。
  • Keep everything cold / 一切保持冰凉: Pre-chill the glass, use cold tonic, and pack the glass with ice. 提前冷冻杯子、使用冷藏汤力水、装满冰块。
  • Don't over-stir / 不要过度搅拌: Excessive stirring releases carbonation. One gentle stir is enough. 过度搅拌会导致气泡流失,轻柔搅拌一次足矣。
