How much Gin & Tonic for 6 people — exact measures?
Exact Gin & Tonic measures scaled for your guest count — ml per ingredient and short procedure.
Quick answer
Hosting 6 guests? One Gin & Tonic per person scales cleanly: **dose × number of drinks**. Base recipe (50 ml Gin · 120 ml Tonic water) × **6** = your shopping list. Use the party buttons for 10 or 20 — the pain point is batch math before a summer terrace, not memorising IBA ratios.
- Gin
- 300 ml
- Tonic water
- 720 ml
- Ice
- fill glass
- Lime wedge
- 6 wedge
How to make it
- Fill balloon or highball glass with ice.
- Pour gin, top with chilled tonic.
- Garnish with lime wedge — do not stir aggressively.
⚠️ Drink responsibly.
Formula: base dose × number of drinks × glass factor. Non-ml items (splash, mint) stay per-glass notes. Spirits are not sold via our links — use the list when shopping locally.
How it works
We link **bar tools** (shaker, jigger, glasses) — not spirits (Amazon restrictions). Measure locally, mix with the short procedure below, and keep ice and fresh garnishes separate until service.
Frequently asked questions
What are the classic Gin & Tonic proportions?+
1:2 to 1:3 gin to tonic (50 ml gin, 120 ml tonic common). More tonic = longer, softer drink.
How do I scale Gin & Tonic for a party of 20?+
Set drinks to 20 — every scalable ingredient multiplies by 20 (and by glass size if you use large cups). Buy spirits with ~10% extra; soda and ice do not store like wine — prep ice in batches and top with fizzy mixers just before serving.
Can I premix everything ahead of time?+
Never premix gin + tonic — pour tonic per glass to keep bubbles.
Do you sell the alcohol through this page?+
No — we only suggest bar tools (shaker, glasses, jigger). Buy spirits and vermouth from your local shop; the calculator gives exact ml for your guest count.
