Could you do a video that shows how to get your kids to go to bed at 7:00 pm 😂

[@DrinksTube]

Hahaha!

[@eyesdark08]

Steven Wilson uh yeah it's called Gin and tonics 😂😂😂

[@FXJammer]

spank it. I like a bit spanking. It's quite nice

[@tbk29]

give them 1 glass of Gin and Tonic each.

[@Frankirulz]

It will probably involve another spank haha

[@jordidosnumerosmes8731]

I love the simplicity of this man about things sometimes made too much complicate generally for keep the rest of mortals away. Thank you!

[@nn27a]

My favourite is a G&T with lemon and a dash of angostura bitters. I have a lot of mint in the garden, so I think I'll have to try that as well!

[@orbsofenergy9138]

I really enjoy watching Jamie do so many recipe variations.....he truly inspires one to get into the kitchen with such enthusiasm and creativity. These drink recipes look delicious!!😊

[@DrinksTube]

Orbs of energy Thanks Orbs. means a lot.

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

I agree, love it

[@Hapidjus_]

i really dig the way you make this amazing gin. altough i do prefer gins with a more intense herb flavor, like tanqueray e.g.

[@bright-cynthiamarcus6572]

Jamie Rocks guys.... Cooking is so wonderful the way he does it.

[@LuminousOakDK]

I love this video. Haven't made it any other way since watching it. I was wondering.. Could you make a video where you went through all the popular gins ( Hendricks, Gin Mare, Tanqueray, Citadelle and so on ) and explained how to get the best G&T out of the specific gin ( The proper tonic and garnish )? I would absolutely love that.

[@dzoni_dji]

Thank you Jamie you really bring joy with a simple stuff in life, brining back smile in these hard pandemic times. Looking forward to watch your drinks tube and try a lot of drinks, because, what else can I do every day at home :) cheers from Serbia

[@sebastianr.1561]

Have you ever tried a classic Gordons London Dry with Schweppes and a squeez of blood orange? It's fantastic.

[@englishgent3857]

Gordens is as good as any gin only toffs love telling u it's cheap Shit and they drink craft only toff toff, I've tried a lot of gins craft alike and I'm telling you now a classic London dry is always best, I mean come on gin is a juniper based spirit and there are gins now without the one thing that defines it ffs

[@PatrickM1995]

Gordon is rubbish 😂

It's great isn't it? A really neat little trick to try at home.

[@akadua1045]

that does look amazing. i love bombay sapphire.

[@Kitsua]

This is of course a tried and true and even subtle preparation of a classic long cocktail. I like the addition of the mint sprig too. Even the shape of the glass appeals to me (I had a fantastic G&T served to me in an identical receptacle at a Heston Blumenthal eatery). My own personal perfect G&T involves a descent gin (naturally), Fever Tree's Elderflower Tonic and a slice of kiwi. Utterly divine.

[@DrinksTube]

Sonny Williamson Sounds wonderful

[@monicamuffin1]

Thanks Jamie. Came here looking for Gin and Tonic information and found some nice tips. In particular, rolling the lime. Cooling the glass with the ice (then removing the melted water). And the mint leaf I'll have to try.

[@DrinksTube]

+Cristian Diaz Sanchez Cheers Christian!

[@MAmyself]

I recomend Fentimans tonic for a perfect GnT. It's really well balanced, and it's even good on it's own, for mocktails, if you're not into alcohol.

[@DrinksTube]

Morten Arendt Thanks Morten.

[@NilsLiebherr]

Morten Arendt It really, really depends on the Gin which Tonic to use! Thomas Henry is nice for more gentle Gins

[@unorthodoxromance254]

So is Fever Tree's Mediterranean Tonic, which I actually prefer to their standard Indian tonic. Definitely a treat though - it's like $7 for 6 bottles, compared to about $3.99 for a six pack of Schweppes.

[@samteks997]

Bombay Sapphire East gives it a nice little twist as well. Hayman's is quite nice, too.

[@unorthodoxromance254]

For me, the best gin and tonic is 2 oz (60 ml) Beefeater, 4-5 oz Schweppes, topped with a lemon slice. I prefer lemon to lime because (1) I work at the produce section in a supermarket, and I juice limes all day for guacamole and pico de gallo. I got so tired of the smell of juiced limes that every lime smells like Skittles now to me. (2) Limes go brown before I can use them up. Bombay Sapphire is definitely a favorite, but more of a "special occasion" gin owing to its price.

[@lconway3]

I made this for my mum and she said it was one of the best G&T's she has had. I've only ever had one with lemon but I'm converted to limes. I love Drinks Tube, can't wait to try something new next weekend.

[@DrinksTube]

+Laura Conway AMAZING! What do you think you'll try next?

[@The_Sweet_Life_99999]

I don’t get it 😅

[@FuckFeminists]

Im a big fan of gin, I drink them straight, and actually Bombay is an excellent choice. Delicate but has an understated intensity, a good choice if you like the citrus notes, a bit of pepper, and warm sweet spices. Its strong spiciness doesnt linger long in a G&T though, so thats 1 to you. Ive tasted quite a lot of less well-known gins, and still both Bombay and Tanqueray are fantastic - though the more robust Tanq, as 'the twit' quite rightly says, may suit lemon more.

[@alexknapp87]

I love Gin-Tonic. Some of my friends like Gin but don't want to have the Tonic Water. So I serve it with Sprite, 7Up or something like that. I know that it isn't the healthiest but it tastes great. Cranberry juice is also worth a try with Gin.

[@DrinksTube]

It's an acquired taste for some. Cranberry and Gin works well though.

[@FuckFeminists]

The Sapphire is an excellent gin! Dont be fooled by its widespread use. Ive tried many a lesser-known gin and very few come close. The other good one thats quite available is Tanqueray, which is fantastic too but on the robust side so it suits lemon.

[@MrMaltasar]

I usually squeeze two lime wedges and dunk them in and a bit more of tonic than gin ratio. Tanqueray is my fav gin. Another recipe is the hendrick's cucumber g&t, shot of hendrick's, sliced up or muddled cucumber cubes (slices for garnish) and a bit of pepper and the tonic to top it off.

[@DrinksTube]

NICE!

[@CandyHam]

rolling the lime DOES NOT make a difference. Morgenthaler scientifically disproved it.

[@fernandoramoslopez69]

best comment I´ve read this month.

[@heffe1557]

i think he knows what he does

[@davidbernalromero6571]

It does, it releases the oils, just smell your hand after rolling a lime or taste it. It will be bitter because of the oil and that's why Oliver squeezes it that way. And using 60 limes is not Science, it is not statistically significant.

[@MatchCard]

But your anecdotal evidence is better?
