Best Gin and Tonic Recipe

The gin and tonic is our OG classic cocktail recipe. The 1:1 ratio of gin to tonic here makes it nice and strong, and we like lots of lime. Of course, you can adjust it all according to your preference.

Notes

  1. I like Bombay Sapphire in a G&T. Hendricks is a great choice for those less sold on gin. But the most important thing is to sample, sample, sample until you find your favorite.
  2. The same thing goes for tonic water. Taste and find what you like best. There are lots of fancy tonic waters these days, but many people still prefer good old Schweppes in a G&T.
