| 1 cone | lemon peel — lemon peel | acid |
| 1 jigger | Old Tom gin | base |
| ginger ale — imported ginger ale | dilution | |
| ice — fine cracked ice | other |
- Peel a lemon so the peel curls into a cone and spray some of its oil into a long thin glass.
- Place the inverted peel cone in the glass and fill with fine cracked ice.
- Add Old Tom gin, let it lie for a minute, then fill up with imported ginger ale and serve.
Garnish: Inverted cone of lemon peel
Ice: Fine cracked ice
- Nose
- Bright lemon oil and ginger leap from the glass.
- Palate
- The drink is lighter and more aromatic than a Collins, with the lemon-peel treatment doing much of the flavour work instead of added juice.
- Finish
- The finish is brisk, gingery, and clean.
- Summary
- A high-style gin cooler that shows Boothby's interest in aromatic long-drink presentation.
