Essential Ingredients and Tools

Ingredients

Tools

Yield: One serving, approximately 350 ml (including ice)

Preparing the Lemon

Cut the lemon in half (with the knife perpendicular to the axis of the lemon), and slice one slice from one half for garnish.
Cut the remaining half in half again. Use the juicer to extract the juice from the four resulting wedges into a container for later use.

Mixing (Without Shaker)

Choose a glass; a transparent glass with a capacity of 350–400 ml is recommended.
Place 100 g of ice cubes at the bottom of the glass.
Pour in 30–40 ml of gin.
Pour in 20 ml of lemon juice (add more or all of it if you prefer a sourer taste).
Pour in 30–40 g of sucrose syrup.
Stir well with a spoon.
Place the reserved lemon slice on the rim or float it on top.
Slowly pour the club soda along the inner wall of the glass until full (avoid pouring directly onto the ice to prevent excessive foaming and loss of carbonation).
Gently lift and lower the spoon to mix the liquid evenly (do not stir in a circular motion to prevent excessive foaming and loss of carbonation).
Place the fresh green leaves on the surface for garnish (optional).

If you have a cocktail shaker, you can replace steps 2–6 with the following:

Pour the ice, gin, lemon juice, and sucrose syrup into the shaker and shake thoroughly.
Pour the shaken mixture into the glass (if the ice is too crushed, you may strain it out and add fresh ice cubes to the glass).
