The Cocktail Spirit with Robert Hess - The Gin and Tonic
The Gin & Tonic is of course an extremely simple drink to make, but is that any reason to avoid it? I don't think so. Especially when you use quality ingredients.

No, it's actually not. You can never have too much ice. People think that by putting a lot of ice, it's just going to fill up the glass, leaving less room for the alcoholic ingredients, making it less strong. But what people don't realize is that no matter how much ice there is, they still get the same amount of liquor, with less mixer, making it even stronger than a glass with no ice, since once you're done adding the alcohol, you fill it the rest with, in this case, tonic water.

@chupamiubre - A properly made Gin & Tonic does not include any lime juice. That is why the lime wedge is added as a garnish. If the customer want's to squeeze the wedge into their drink to "adjust" it's flavor, they can.

This is a great example of bourgeois ego masturbation. It's insulting really. Akin to a lengthy tutorial on how to make a PB&J all the while sponsoring Skippy in the meantime.
