Notes
Tips & Variations
- Mid or top shelf gin - since this is only two ingredients, using a decent quality gin is important. We like Bombay. You can use any type including flavored gin, if you want.
- Use Clear Ice - though not a requirement, if you have a clear ice maker using clear ice makes for a nice addition to this drink. It melts slower and maintains the flavor better.
- Stir gently - be careful not to have the Coke get too fizzy when mixing. We prefer to use a bar spoon to gently stir or gently tumble from glass to shaker and back to glass.
- Make a big batch - keep the 2:1 ratio of Coke to Gin, but scale it up by double, triple or more to serve for than one drink.
