Firstly, you should never add a squeeze of lemon to your gin and tonic.

"The garnish is primarily for the nose, that's why it goes on the top", Zoe Zambakides from Sipsmith Distillery London explains to BuzzFeed Life.
"Garnish is primarily about enhancing the smell and overall sensory experience. A great gin shouldn't need a taste top-up (unless you're making a cocktail), so don't squeeze your garnish into a G&T.
"If you are making a cocktail with citrus peel and want to capture the beautiful aroma from the oils trapped in the skin, remember that you only get one go, so only ever twist your garnish over your glass to capture the aroma. Do anything else and it's purely aesthetic."
