TONICS & SODAS: RECOMMENDED RATIOS TO PERFECT YOUR PREMIUM GIN

Q. So, what’s the perfect ratio of Greytown Distilling Co’s premium gin to Fever-Tree tonics and sodas, you ask?

It’s a timeless question that we get every now and then - and honestly, it’s a good one. 

A. The probably-predictable answer? There is no single “right” ratio. 

Taste is personal and your gin should always be mixed your way. Bottom line is that sipping is sometimes a subjective science. That said, here’s what we’ve found to be sturdy pad from which to launch your taste voyage:

• Grab a tall glass and load it with ice - but leave some room
• Pour in 30ml (that’s a standard serve) of your gin of choice - try the Orchard Grove Selection gin gift box (three 375ml flasks of premium Mānuka & Lemon, Pears of Paradise, Horopito & Lime Dry)
• Top it up with a 50/50 split of Fever‑Tree Tonic and Soda
• Finish with a lemon wedge garnish or float a cucumber wedge on top

From there? Play around. Tweak the tonic. Fine-tune the soda. Adjust the ice. Follow your taste buds and find your sweet spot. It’s all part of the fun and the key component is that you enjoy your ratio research expeditions.
