Twist & shake: Gin rickey
MAKES 14 x 70ml serves
- 175ml freshly squeezed lime juice (6-10 limes)
- 700ml bottle of gin
- 100ml water
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- ice cubes
- 1.5 litres sparkling water
- lime wheels, to garnish
1 Pour the juice into a large jug, then add the gin, water and sugar. Blitz for 30 seconds with a hand blender. Pour into a clean 1-litre swing-top bottle and leave it in the fridge to chill.
2 Shake the bottle quickly before each serve. Fill a long glass with ice, add 70ml of the gin mix and sparkling water. Garnish with lime.
3 The gin mix will keep for two weeks in the fridge. After you’ve opened it use it within a couple of days, as the lime will start to fade.
