The Gin Fix is a refreshing relative of the Gin Sour, served over plenty of crushed ice. Gin, lemon and sugar syrup make a wonderfully balanced drink between sour and sweet. Sipped through a straw, it is the perfect companion for hot summer days.
Instructions
- Add gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup and water to a glass.
- Fill with crushed ice.
- Stir vigorously with a bar spoon.
- Top up with a little more crushed ice.
- Garnish with a lemon slice and berries and serve with a straw.
Garnish: Lemon slice and berries
Pro tip: The Fix thrives on crushed ice - stir the drink directly in the glass so it is well chilled and lightly diluted.
