Gin and Tonic with a Twist

A gin and tonic is a timeless classic — crisp, refreshing, and effortlessly elegant. Our Gin and Tonic Twist takes this beloved drink in a modern Australian direction, highlighting the vibrant citrus pearls of native finger lime. These jewel-like bursts add a zesty pop of flavour and a hint of the tropics, perfectly complementing the smooth botanicals of Latitude 16 Organic Gin. Whether you’re entertaining guests or unwinding at home, this easy-to-make G&T upgrade delivers freshness, flavour, and a touch of coastal luxury.

Ingredients

• 50ml L16 Organic Gin
• 90ml premium tonic water (think Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic)
• ½ fresh finger lime (scooped pearls only)
• Dash of lemon myrtle bitters (or a slice of orange or pink grapefruit)
• Finger lime pearls + lemon myrtle leaf or dehydrated lime wheel (for garnish)
• Ice

Instructions

1. Fill a highball or balloon glass with ice.
2. Add the gin and a few dashes of lemon myrtle bitters.
3. Pour in the tonic water gently to preserve carbonation.
4. Stir lightly, then spoon in the finger lime pearls for a burst of tang and texture.
