• 1 lemon, half juiced and half sliced

2. Over ice in two glasses, divide the chilled gingerbread tea and the gin.
3. Top with chilled tonic water and add the lemon juice.
4. Stir gently, finish with lemon slices and a cinnamon stick, and serve straight away.
5. A warming spice gin already containing cinnamon or cardamom makes this extra festive without needing any extra ingredients.
