How to Make the “Ghost of Jimi” Hendrick’s G&T
Unless you’re new in town, you know that All Hallows’ Eve is the one night of the year that the spirits of the dead can return to Earth. A chilling thought for those mortal among us. In case the ghost of Jimi Hendrix shows up, pass on the virgin and make this extra-strength Hendrick’s Gin & Tonic. A couple of these and you’re sure to sleep like the dead.
Serves: 1 | Prep Time: 3 minutes
2 ounces Hendrick’s gin
4 ounces chilled tonic water
1 to 2 lime wedges
1 lime twist
1. Pour the gin and tonic water into a rocks glass filled with ice and stir.
2. Squeeze the lime wedges into the cocktail.
3. Cut the lime twist. Light a match, hold it over the gin and tonic with the pith facing away from the cocktail, and squeeze it into the cocktail so the citrus acid hits the flame and sparks.
4. Quickly run the peel through the flame and then drop the twist into the cocktail.
