gins and tonics
Juniper highball drinks
Gins and tonics is the standard plural of gin and tonic, a cocktail mixing gin with tonic water, typically served with ice and a citrus garnish.
The plural treats the drink as a compound unit: We ordered three gins and tonics.
Some speakers say "gin and tonics" instead, treating only the second element as countable.
