Vermouth and tonic is one of the better-kept secrets of the low-ABV drinks world. Schofield's English Dry Vermouth — aromatic and slightly saline — holds up beautifully against tonic's gentle bitterness, making for a refreshing long drink that is lower in alcohol and considerably more interesting than most alternatives.
Ingredients
- 60 ml Schofield's English Dry Vermouth
- 120 ml tonic water
- Lemon wheel (garnish)
- Thyme sprig (optional garnish)
Method
Step 1: Build in the glass
Fill a highball glass with ice. Add Schofield's and top with chilled tonic.
Step 2: Stir & garnish
Stir briefly, then garnish with a lemon wheel and optional thyme sprig.
Step 3: Serve
Serve immediately for a crisp, low-ABV aperitif.
Tasting Notes
Crisp and lightly herbal, with Schofield's botanical complexity making itself known quietly against the tonic's clean effervescence — more interesting than a standard G&T.
