A few weeks ago I went to an event for Beefeater in San Francisco. They had your traditional bar there, with a bartender mixing up fancy cocktails. There was also a DIY Gin Tonic bar. You could ask the bartender for just a glass with ice and gin in it, and then use the assortment of tonic waters and accouterments on the table to build your own. The idea was so fun I started doing it whenever I had friends over and it was a big hit. Theres something fun about mixing your own drinks, at least in my opinion.

A gin tonic bar is a pretty low key attempt at an open bar. Even for those that have never had a G T before, its a tough one to really screw up. For the most part, you can put whatever you want on the bar as options, and almost any concoction your guests come up with will be drinkable. As someone who always becomes the default bartender in my group of friends, I really liked not being in charge of everyones drinks for once, and everyone in attendance seemed to really like experimenting on their own.

Get a few tonic water options. Just like the gin, tonic water will add different flavors to your G T. I love Fever Trees Tonic water. Other good options include Q and Fentimans. If youre feeling particularly adventurous you can also make your own. Cut up fruit and veggies and put them on a plate. In general, grapefruit, cucumbers, lime and oranges go well with gin and tonics. Ive seen people use more adventurous fruits like strawberries, watermelon, peaches and blueberries as well. Grab at least three or four options from your local grocery and cut them up, displaying them on a plate for guests. Offer a few spices. I really love muddling a bit of basil in the bottom of a glass and pairing that with grapefruit for a G T. Fresh basil and rosemary can both be great options to have on hand.

For guests that dont know what theyre doing, Id suggest starting with a basic 1 1 recipe one ounce of gin to every one ounce of tonic water, thats easy enough to eyeball, and then telling them to select just one or two ingredients from the table to enhance it. Light drinkers can double the amount of tonic. Its VERY hard to go wrong with just adding a few of the fruits although Im sure someone can do it. Spices should be used sparingly, but those are pretty difficult to screw up as well as long as youre limiting your selection to just a small amount of one. As the night progresses, youll be surprised what awesome creations your guests come up with, and theyll definitely be talking about it much more than they would if you labored over their drinks all night.
