Gin and Tonic

One of the most common cocktails is also one of the most abused when it comes to making one. The first problem is the the traditional tonic, Canada Dry, is mostly corn syrup and/or sugar. The second is that people traditionally eyeball measurements of the two main ingredients, and too much of either makes for a cocktail one will muddle through rather than truly enjoy, as one should when making such a timeless treat. So use a gourmet tonic water like Q, and measure, please.

2 oz Gin
3 oz Good Tonic Water
Lime Wedge

Build in an ice-filled hi-ball, and squeeze the lime wedge into the drink to taste and drop into the drink.

Enjoy.
