[[General Recipe]]
A gin and tonic is a highball cocktail made with gin and tonic water poured over ice. It is usually garnished with a slice or wedge of lime. The amount of gin varies according to taste. Suggested ratios of gin to tonic are between 1:1 and 1:3.
The unexpectedly light and refreshing taste was delightful. The subtle sweetness of the tonic water, the effervescence of the bubbles, and the sharpness from the gin—these elements combined to provide a moment of cool relief in the end of a weary day. I like it.
