New York's best gin-and-tonics are super-cold and bubbly, embrace the botanical flavors, and leave your thirst quenched
La Vara’s garnish-forward “gintonic.” Photo: Melissa Hom The beauty of a gin-and-tonic is its simplicity. On sweltering days guaranteeing pit stains, there’s nothing better. Its origins trace back to the 19th-century British Raj, when officers hoped to ward off disease by mixing bitter-tasting anti-malarial quinine with gin, water, sugar, and lime.
Bartenders pour a liquid potpourri of Principe de los Apostoles, an Argentinian gin distilled with maté, pink grapefruit, eucalyptus, and peppermint, topped off with Fever-Tree’s rosemary-forward Mediterranean tonic. With a glug of Giffard Creme de Pamplemousse rosé, lime and a pungent eucalyptus sprig, the first sip hits you with an inescapable spa-like mentholated coolness, followed by the delightful grapefruit and earthy notes that quietly linger.
