Name: Mango and Lychee Green Tea Gin and Tonic

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 for about a minute (around 80C)
50ml gin
200ml chilled tonic water
1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
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 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.

What you'll end up with: A summery G and T with mango and lychee up front and the gin's juniper holding the line underneath.
