Gin and tonic
A gin and tonic is a highball cocktail made with gin and tonic water poured over ice. It is usually garnished with a slice or wedge of lime. The amount of gin varies according to taste. Suggested ratios of gin to tonic are 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:3.
In some countries (e.g. UK), gin and tonic is also marketed pre-mixed in single-serving cans.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Greenall's Gin & Tonic 250ml product information )〕 In the United States, most bars "use soda out of a gun that in no way, shape or form resembles quinine water", according to bartender Dale DeGroff.〔 To get a real gin and tonic, DeGroff recommends specifying bottled tonic.〔 Alternatively, one can add tonic syrup to soda water.
It is commonly referred to as a "G and T" in the UK, USA, Canada and Ireland.〔("G and T". ) Oxford Dictionaries. April 2010. Oxford University Press. 6 December 2010.〕 In some parts of the world, it is called a "Gin Tonic" (e.g. the Netherlands, Japan ジン・トニック - phonetically "Gin Tonic"). Some brands will replace the word "gin" with their own brand or initial in recipes. For instance, "Sapphire and Tonic" for Bombay Sapphire, "Hendrick's and Tonic" for Hendrick's Gin (garnished with cucumber to further distinguish it),〔(Hendrick's Curiositorium )〕 or "T&T" for Tanqueray.〔() 〕〔() 〕
==Garnish==
Gin and tonic is traditionally garnished with a slice or wedge of lime, often slightly squeezed into the drink before being placed in the glass. In most parts of the world lime remains the only usual garnish; however, in the United Kingdom it has become common to use lemon as an alternative fruit; use of both fruit together is known as an "Evans".〔Knoll, A & Smith, D (2013). The Craft of Gin. Hayward: White Mule Press. p.69. ISBN 978-0-983-63896-4.〕 Although the origins of the use of lemons are unknown, their use dates back at least as far as the late 1930s.〔"Gin and Tonic as served at the Shepheard's in Cairo" Gilbey's Gin advert from Punch Magazine, April 1938〕 In addition lemons are often more readily available, and cheaper to purchase, than limes. The use of lemon or lime is a debated issue 〔http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/05/22/dining/lemonlime.html?_r=0〕 and while leading brands, such as Gordon's,〔Recommendation from Gordon's (a market leading brand in the United Kingdom) may be found on their (UK website ).〕 Tanqueray〔Use of lime is advice on the Tanqueray (website, here ).〕 and Bombay Sapphire〔Recommendation from Bombay Sapphire (a popular UK brand) may be found on their (UK website ).〕 recommend the use of lime, the founder of Fevertree Tonic Water prefers lemon. Some people garnish a Beefeater-based gin and tonic with a slice of orange, to complement the Seville oranges Beefeater uses in its botanicals. A gin and tonic served with Hendrick's Gin is typically garnished with a slice of cucumber.〔 However, garnishes of cucumber are very rare, and garnishes of orange are rarer still.
