A gin and tonic is a long, ice-cold drink built in the glass — clean and faintly bitter, with the botanical depth of gin lifted by sparkling tonic water and a lime garnish. Quick to make, it works as an aperitif, a sundowner, or anything in between. The balance of spirit to mixer keeps it refreshing rather than strong.
