| | CuisineNet Cafe: Gin & Tonics |
| | With a drink as deliciously satisfying as a gin and tonic, ruination on a hot summer day is a danger, as many can attest. | | | To ward off scurvy during long sea voyages in the 19th century, gin and lime was the tonic preferred by the British Navy. | | | Yet gin and tonics are an acquired taste, he says, "and the type of people who order them are more professional and drink-conscious." Even though he feels the brand of gin is not that important, it's "Tanq and tonic, Tanq and tonic,\" he hears all day long (referring to Tanqueray). |

| | DrinkStreet.com -> Drink Recipe: Gin and Tonic |
| | Gin and Tonic is the finest drink for a hot summer afternoon known to mankind. | | | For a perfect Gin and Tonic, add one part gin to four or five parts Schweppes tonic water, then queeze in a generous portion of fresh lime juice (or lemon, if you don't have limes in the house) and drop the rind into the glass, always over ice. | | | Bombay Sapphire is my choice because with good tonic water it brings out the citrus taste of the lime the best for me. You might have a better experience with something else, so try a different gin every now and then, and differnt tonic waters too. |

| | Something a lot of people notice is, in night clubs gin and tonic can glow a pale blue colour under the UV lights. | | | As it has a very bitter taste the British would mix the quinine with a small amount of gin and lemon juice to make it more palatable to drink. | | | Tonic water was granted an English patent in 1858, then in 1953 Schweppes brought tonic water to the USA. |

| | Halfbakery: tonic water |
| | So when someone wants to serve gin and tonic at some home gathering, he has to visit more than one store purchasing the gin here and the tonic there. | | | My idea is to bottle tonic water with just enough alcohol added to it so this store and others like it could legally sell this much requested item. | | | I recently discovered "bitter lemon"- premixed tonic and sour. |

| | After going to a third store, again with the same results, she was beginning to believe that Bostonians did not drink Gin and Tonics, and made a comment to that effect to the shopkeeper. | | | Then they comment that it would be confused with gin and tonic, or tonic water. | | | I moved from New Hampshire to Oklahoma a few years ago and ppl out here think it's so funny that I call all carbonated beverages Tonic, and not funny to them that they call it Pop..go figure. |

| | Well, actually the reason I was looking into tonic at all is because the drink I always order when i go out dancing is a gin and tonic. | | | Personally, I occasionally drink tonic water but only becuase I'm changing so much of my diet at the moment that that's further down the list! | | | Quinine is an anti malarial drug, tonic was invented as literally a tonic i beleive in south america during the building of the suezz canal (but don't quote me on that!). |

| | The Observer Magazine Drink: Living in gin |
| | Moreover, it's often assumed that, mixed with tonic, a gin's character doesn't show through, which implies that the brand doesn't matter. | | | Many people are introduced to gin through this archetypal combination, so it is vital to apply zero-tolerance to any G&T abuse (served in a wine glass with warm tonic, no ice, maybe limp lemon, maybe not). | | | As our gastro-era has elevated ingredients, recipes and provenance into a lifestyle issue, more gins use their botanical line-up to establish individuality by telling the story of how and where they are sourced. |
