Contains Alcohol:  Yes
Style: Cocktail
Glass Type: Highball Glass
Ingredients: 3

Recipe:
2 oz Gin
5 oz Tonic Water
1 Lime Wedge OR Lime Juice

Instructions

Pour the Gin and the Tonic Water into a highball glass almost filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with the Lime wedge. We highly recommend squeezing the lime into the drink as well. The addition of the lime juice really puts it over the top. Some users also add fresh lime juice to the mix in addition to the lime wedge garnish.

The key to a great gin and tonic is the quality of the gin and tonic water, the right proportions, and plenty of ice. Adjust the ratio of gin to tonic according to your taste preference. Some people prefer a stronger gin flavor, while others like a more diluted, refreshing taste.
