gin and tonic

Quinine cocktail classic

A gin and tonic is a highball cocktail of gin mixed with tonic water, typically served over ice with a citrus garnish.

The bittersweet quinine in the tonic complements gin's botanical flavors.

Often shortened to G&T: I'll have a gin and tonic.

We sat on the porch drinking G&Ts.
