Gin & Tonic Cocktail

Today we talk about the famous Gin & Tonic cocktail made by mixing Gin with tonic water, usually accompanied with ice and a slice of lime for garnish. However sometimes in the UK the lime is often replaced by a slice of lemon instead as seen in the image to the right. Ever since it originated from India, this cocktail has been big around Europe and especially in the United States. 

Many celebrities have also helped promote this drink around the world in TV shows such as Neil Patrick Harris in the American sitcom "How I Met Your Mother". Personally, I have never tried the Gin & Tonic before but it definitely looks like a fun drink to try out. With the addition of lime/lemon the cocktail will have a strong citrus taste reinforced by the flavour of tonic water and gin. Overall this drink is worth checking out especially if you enjoy fruity drinks that pack a punch.
