What is the bartender tip for a Jaboo & Tonic?

50 ml gin, 50 ml Jaboo, and 100 ml tonic: the liqueur is as present as the gin, not a splash. Stir the gin and liqueur over ice before the tonic — the liqueur is dense and otherwise sits at the bottom. Tonic down the side, one turn of the spoon. A London Dry stands up to the fruit; a very floral gin disappears. The catalog's Gin & Tonic has no liqueur; the Jabuti is a sour with no fizz.
