Gin and Tonic

As some of you may have guessed, gin is my favorite spirit. Therefore I am going to share with you one of the simplest and tastiest gin cocktails out there. For me this cocktail is always at hand. I drink one at least once a week and love it every single time. Here is a photo of the cocktail.

This cocktail has only two ingredients, gin and tonic. Well, three if you include the lime wedge. For this I have to use my all time favorite gin, Hendricks.

Along with this I use Canada Dry tonic. It is everywhere and does not have a taste to it at all.

The recipe with this is quite simple as you can imagine.
Fill a glass almost full with ice. Pour the gin in until it is about 1/3 full. Top off with tonic and garnish with a lime wedge.
There you have it. An easy and excellent cocktail that is good for all occasions. I recommend you enjoy this quickly because the more the ice melts the less of a gin taste there will be. After a few of these you will be toasty for the rest of the night and feel great in the morning, as long as you don't over do it.
See you all next week
