Method
 

  1. Salt the rim:
    Run a cut lemon or lime wedge around the glass edge. Dip into coarse sea salt—Blackthorn salt of Ayr is recommended, echoing your gin’s signature ingredient
  2. Add ice:
    Fill the glass halfway with ice (around 8 cubes), balancing chill with minimal dilution
  3. Build & serve:
    Pour in gin and top with tonic. Gently swirl to combine

Garnish & Tips:

Notes :

Navy Strength brings a bolder, spicier backbone; London Dry is lighter and more floral.
A coarse sea-salt rim (Blackthorn Salt of Ayr) adds a clean, coastal snap that lifts the botanicals.
Tonic choice matters: Mediterranean = softer, herbal; Indian = classic quinine bite; Light = lower sugar, crisper finish.
 

Garnish:

Lime slice or swirl of lemon 

Tips:

Keep the rim thin—just enough for a savoury edge without dominating the sip.
Build gently: add cold gin over plenty of ice, top with chilled tonic, and give a brief, soft stir to preserve carbonation.
Express citrus oils (twist over the glass) before dropping in for brighter aroma.
Use a balloon glass and large, clear ice for slower dilution and elegant presentation.
Outdoors-friendly: pre-chill gin and tonic; rim the glass on site for the freshest salt note.
