The Ultimate Gin & Tonic
Recipe
Classic and easy, the gin and tonic (or G&T) is light and refreshing. It's a simple mixed drink—requiring just the two ingredients—and is perfect for happy hour, dinner, or anytime you simply want an invigorating beverage.
One thing to keep in mind is that your gin and tonic is only as good as both the gin and the tonic.
