THIRSTY THURSDAY - VODKA TONIC

thirsty-thursday-vodka-tonic-cocktail-nairobi-kitchen-recipe

Thirsty Thursday here! We have moved from Tuesday, who drinks Cocktails on Tuesday? Me. Sometimes. Hehe. My attempt at making Cocktails is still on a learning curve. I would be making every other day but some ingredients haven't been available. Well, enough of my rants, today's Cocktail is simple with 3 ingredients that are easily available. Cocktails are meant to be slowly enjoyed after a long day or when hanging out with friends. Something to note, Tonic water is drier than other sodas giving it that slightly bitter taste due to the quinine in it. A vodka tonic is an alcoholic drink made with varying proportions of vodka and tonic water.Vodka tonics are frequently garnished with a slice of lime. Served On the rocks; poured over ice. Standard garnish is citrus fruit, usually lime or lemon. The standard drink ware is usually a Highball glass. Commonly used ingredients is One part vodka. One to three parts tonic water, to taste. The preparation is Mix and serve-stirred, not shaken. One commonly used recipe is one part vodka and one part tonic water in a tumbler over ice, with a generous lime wedge squeezed into it.
