Gin and tonic is a classic cocktail mixture.
One of the most common and well know cocktails is the Gin and Tonic. This drink is made from virtually any brand of Gin with a mixture of tonic water. There are several ways to make a Gin and Tonic, but the most common ratios for the drink are 1 to 1, 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 2 to 3, with the first number representing the amount of gin and the second the amount of tonic water. This drink is typically served over ice, with a lime or lemon twist.
Instructions
1. Ask the way the bartender makes the Gin and Tonic. There are several ways to make this cocktail, and if you like it a specific way you will need to make sure that the bartender makes it that way. Do not assume that every drink will be the same.
2. Tell the bartender the type of Gin you want. This will allow you to be more specific when ordering a drink and makes sure the bartender knows exactly what you want. If there is a specific type of gin you like specifying the type will prevent the bartender from using the cheapest type of gin.
3. Specify the way you want the drink made. If you want a special type of drink you will need to ask the bartender to make it that way. A common difference in the way drinks are made is the difference between shaken drinks and stirred drinks.
