Petunjuk

Pour the Gin and Soda water into a highball glass almost filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with the lime wedge.

Clear Alcoholic

Gin and Soda is a minimalist two-ingredient highball combining gin with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime, served over ice in a highball glass. The neutral carbonation of the soda water allows the gin's botanical complexity to take center stage without the sugar of tonic water, making it a lower-calorie, drier alternative to the classic Gin and Tonic. It is one of the simplest and most clean-tasting gin serves.

History & Origins

Gin and soda water has been a common serve since the 19th century when soda water became widely available and was used as a neutral mixer for spirits. The combination became particularly fashionable with health-conscious drinkers in the early 21st century as the zero-calorie effervescence of soda water was preferred over the sugar-containing tonic water. Its specific origin is unrecorded.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: pronounced gin botanicals — juniper, coriander, and citrus peel — with a clean, neutral carbonation note. Palate: dry and botanical with the gin's full herbal complexity unfiltered by sweetness, lifted by the lime's sharp acidity. Finish: clean, dry, and refreshing with a lingering gin botanical note.

Pro Tip

Use a premium craft gin with a complex botanical profile, as there is nothing to mask or sweeten the spirit — squeeze the lime wedge directly into the drink rather than just using it as garnish.
