Fitch & Leedes Premium Indian Tonic
I have been using Fitch & Leedes bespoke mixers for a long time. Tonic is one of those mixers where quality really does matter and they don't get much better than Fitch & Leedes classic Indian Tonic. I will never go back to those big plastic bottles of tonic again!
If you're interested in trying out some of my favorite mixers you can check out the Fitch & Leedes website.

Equipment
- Jigger: I love this Oxo Steel Double Sided Jigger.
- Cocktail stirrer (optional)
- Ice Tray (optional): You can use ice straight out of the dispenser but I personally love using these large cocktail ice cube trays. They melt more slowly and just look so nice.
Ingredients
- Tonic water: I recommend Fitch & Leedes Premium Indian tonic.
- Gin: My favorite to use for this recipe is Tanqueray London Dry Gin but you can use any of your favorite brands.
- Apple cider: You can substitute a strong apple juice in a pinch.
- Lemon
- Ice
- Whole spices: I like to use cinnamon, star anise and cloves.
How to make spiced gin.
You can 100% make this recipe with normal gin and simply garnish with whole spices to infuse scent and flavor.
However, if you would like a little more spice in your gin it doesn't take too much effort.
Simply fill a glass with plain gin and then add a cinnamon stick, a couple pieces of star anise and a few cloves. Then allow to sit for at least 1 hour or more.
