Cocktail Time with Kevin Kos | Truly UNIQUE Gin & Tonic | How to Make HOMEMADE Tonic Water @KevinKos | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In this episode I will show you how to make homemade tonic water so that you can enjoy a truly unique Gin and Tonic. A lot is known about gins, but do we know enough about the tonics? On October 19th we celebrate the World Gin & Tonic day, so in this episode I am focusing more on the second part of this mixed drink and show you how to make it yourself! I am sure you will impress your friends at the next Gin & Tonic party (or your significat other, until we can have parties again) with this homemade tonic water.

Classic Gin & Tonic:
• 50 ml (1 2/3 oz) London Dry gin
• 100 ml (3 1/3 oz) premium tonic
• Lime wedge (squezed if you so desire)

Homemade Tonic Syrup:
• 250 ml (8 1/3oz) water
• 7 g dried chinchona bark powder
• 5 g grated grapefruit peel
• 1 g grated lemon peel
• 1 g grated lime peel

Gently mix before heating and let it boil for 5 minutes. When that’s done, strain it through a coffee filter.
Measure out 200 ml of this infusion and add:
• 200 g sugar
• 10 g citric acid and
• 5 g malic acid
Stir and let it cool before bottling.

Homemade Tonic Water:
Add into a soda syphon:
• 255g cold water
• 45 ml (1 ½ oz) homemade tonic syrup
• 3 drops of 20% saline solution (20 g salt dissolved in 80 ml of water)
Add a CO2 cartridge, shake it vigorously for around 10 seconds, then let out the gasses. Then add another cartridge and repeat the process. This method will make the tonic water really well carbonated.

Truly Unique Gin & Tonic:
• 50 ml (1 2/3 oz) Canaima Gin
• 100 ml (3 1/3 oz) homemade tonic water
• Grapefruit wedge

Enjoy responsibly!

$Your Cocktail Needs Baking Soda! Your cocktails need Baking Soda! Making better cocktails is as easy as adding Baking Soda to them to correct their pH, which allows you to even incorporate vinegar without the strong and overpowering bite of acetic acid! The mastermind behind this technique is Liberty Adams, a bar manager at the Japanase restaurant Takibi, and we’ll first try his Reverse Engineering cocktail to see what Reverse Acidity does when you add baking soda to your drinks. We’ll then follow that with a Baking Whiskey Sour using an Improved Orange Shrub that will even go great in your Mimosas. So if you’re ready, it’s Cocktail Time!
