Squid Mixes: Gin Fix


A gin fix is simple enough: gin, lemon juice, sugar, water, lemon slice to garnish.  I got my recipe from Imbibe! by David Wondrich with an assist from The New York Bartender's Guide on the garnish.  According to Wondrich, the first historical record is a drink list from a Toronto saloon, dated 1856.  It's a refreshing drink, tasting exactly like what it is: gin and lemon.

    I know I'm a snob, but I like my drinks to have color in them (like scotch, bourbon, or aged rum) :)

      Me, too. It's good to have a few gin drinks in the arsenal, tough.

    I had a smoked gin with elderflower on Sunday, I wish I could magic you a glass! It's made with smoked tea leaves, incredible stuff!
