Everyone thinks gin and tonic season is the height of summer but we tend to disagree.
With all the heavy food (not complaining) a crisp gin and tonic is exactly what you need to finish off a feast. That’s why Alissa Timoshinka, founder of supperclub Kino Vino pairing films with food, chose it as part of her Amelie inspired dinner party feast. Well actually, that’s not the only reason – can you guess what part of the film it’s inspired by? Let us know in the comments below if you figure it out.
Raspberry and Lime Gin and Tonic:
Put the raspberries, reserving 8 for decor, into a jug.
Add 4 lime wedges and top with 4 tsp of sugar and muddle up using a wooden spoon. Leave for 2-3 minutes for the flavours to mingle.
Add 200ml of gin, and 800ml of tonic, give it a good stir and strain into 4 glasses using a small sieve to get rid of all ‘muddy’ bits.
Add some ice, and decorate with a few raspberries and a lime wedge before serving.
