Classic, easy and light and perfect for a summer afternoon. The best Gin and Tonics are made with the best gins, especially those with a slight citrus flavor and a great blend of botanicals. Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray Rangpur are two of my favorites and if you like this recipe but could pass on the gin, you might want to try Vodka Tonic.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz gin
  • 5 oz tonic water
  • lime wedge for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients in a highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Stir well.
  3. Garnish with the lime wedge.
