Exact quantities, then the method.
Here the gin and tonic gets a fruity lean. A chilled shot of Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea brings mango and lychee to the glass, while the green leaf keeps things dry enough to still read as a proper G and T. Built over plenty of ice with lime, it is an easy summer pour.

You'll need
- 2 tea bags of Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea
- 150ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
- 50ml gin
- 200ml chilled tonic water
- 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Boiled water first rests a minute or so; then the 2 bags of mango and lychee green tea steep 3 minutes and come out unsqueezed before chilling.
- Two ice filled glasses share the chilled mango and lychee tea and the gin.
- Top with chilled tonic water and add the lime juice.
- Stir gently, finish with lime slices, and serve straight away.
- A fruit-forward or lychee gin doubles the fruit note; a classic London Dry keeps it restrained and lets the green tea show.
