🍽 Ingredients

• 2 oz Gin
• ¾ oz Lime Juice
• 4 oz Club Soda

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, gather your ingredients and ensure your glasses are nice and chilled. Nothing ruins a refreshing drink like a warm glass!
2. Grab your jigger and measure out 2 ounces of your favorite gin. I personally love a classic London Dry, but feel free to experiment!
3. Next, juice about ¾ of a lime—more or less, depending on your tastebuds, it's your drink! I usually squeeze until the lime feels almost dry.
4. Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Now, add your measured gin and fresh lime juice into the shaker.
5. Seal the shaker tightly, then give it a good shake. Not too vigorous, mind you. We don't want a foamy mess! Aim for a good 10-15 seconds, just to chill everything nicely.
6. Take your highball glass and fill it with ice. Lots of ice, we want this drink nice and frosty!
7. Strain your shaken gin mixture into the ice-filled glass. Do it slowly and carefully, because that perfectly chilled mixture should stay in the glass and not make a mess on your bar.
8. Top it off with about 4 ounces of chilled club soda (or sparkling water if you prefer). Remember, it's all about that balance of gin and bubbles!
9. Gently stir with a long spoon—or even better use a straw, it's all about your style and preference. Add a lime wedge, or you can try adding some lime wheel to garnish and add a festive flair!
10. Sip, savor, and enjoy! I think, this simple yet sophisticated drink is best enjoyed on a warm day or evening—or anytime you fancy a refreshing change of pace. You'll see what I mean! Cheers!

📝 Notes
