- 1.5 oz. Perry's Tot Navy Strength Gin (or 2 oz. other gin)
- 1 lime
- tonic water to fill (roughly 6-8 oz.)
Juice lime and set aside juice. Cut rind halves into thin strips and muddle in a mixing glass with gin. Add a dash of lime juice (1/4 to 1/2 oz.) and muddle further. In a tall highball glass half-filled with ice, pour tonic water carefully down the the side so as to not lose carbonation. Fill to leave just enough room for the gin/lime mixture. Float the gin/lime mixture on top and garnish with a straw (carefully) and either two thin lime wheels or, as my dad did, some of the julienned rinds heaped atop. Serve striated as is, but inform your guest to mix it together before drinking. Serves one.
