gin and tonics

Juniper highball drinks

Gin and tonics is the standard plural of gin and tonic, the cocktail combining gin, tonic water, and usually lime.

The plural treats the drink as a unit rather than pluralizing its components: We ordered three gin and tonics.

Less commonly, "gins and tonic" appears, following the pattern of "attorneys general."
