If You Had Enough or Oranges for CNY

 


Vitamin C is important. During Chinese New Year, one gets plenty of it from the omnipresent organges. At some point though, one needs to balance all that with some other fruits. And when CNY gives you lemons, you make Gin & Tonic, one of the most boring, yet refreshing drinks. Super for the tropics. 

Here is what I do:

- Priceworthy Gin (read cheap): Add 4cl into a wine glass (who owns G&T glasses, really??)
- Dunk in a sourplum
- Add ice
- A few drops, or a few more, of lemon
- Top up with tonic water. I recommend Fevertree Tonic Waters

Personally, only rarely do I feel the Gin makes a difference. But the Tonic Water does. And with the Fevertree ones, one can sample a few different variations, elevating the cheap Gin (oh, sorry, the priceworthy beverage) to something else altogether. Just my take on this. 

Cheers.
