Exact quantities, then the method.
Pomegranate and gin are a natural pair, both sharp and a little perfumed. Stir a chilled shot of Twinings Pomegranate Green Tea into a gin and tonic, add lime, and the fruit cuts through the juniper while the green leaf keeps it dry. A few pomegranate seeds dropped in finish it off.

You'll need
- 2 tea bags of Twinings Pomegranate 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
- A handful of pomegranate seeds, to garnish
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Let the boiled water stand for about a minute, steep the 2 bags for 3 minutes, then lift them out without squeezing and chill.
- Fill two glasses with ice and divide the chilled tea and gin between them.
- Top with chilled tonic water and add the lime juice.
- Stir gently, finish with lime slices and pomegranate seeds, and serve straight away.
- A sloe gin mixed 50:50 with a London Dry works well; the berry character bridges the botanicals and the tart pomegranate naturally.
