Ginger gin and tonic

Serves: 2

Ingredients

125ml water
30ml sugar
30ml ginger, finely grated
250ml tonic water, chilled
125ml gin
juice of 1 lime
ice cubes, to serve
lime slices, to garnish

Instructions

Combine the water, sugar and ginger in a small pot over a medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and cook for about 3 minutes, then cool and strain. Mix the tonic water, gin, lime juice and 60ml of the ginger syrup in a jug, tasting as you go along – you may want to add another splash of syrup. Divide the mixture between two glasses. Add a few ice cubes and slices of lime, and serve.
