May 10-Gin & Tonic

Today is a special day on the blog as we are talking about my go to drink whenever I go to a party and am suspicious of the qualifications of the bartender or I need something quick and satisfying after a long night of work. That’s right, you read the title, we are talking about the Gin and Tonic. While this cocktail is simple, it is incredibly refreshing and when you add lime to it, it is near perfection in a glass. I will admit that that is one flaw with the cocktail is that the garnish is needed to make it really at its best. Normally as a bartenmder we would get upset if a customer squeezed a garnish into a drink we already made balanced, but here it works. I honestly don’t like thaty aspect since it depends on the customer’s knowledge of yopur drink before they even come in . I just want people to enjoy my drinks as they are with no need to alter therm once it’s handed to them.

This nis going to be a shorter postr sinc ehtis is a simple cocktail but I want to mention at least this. This cocktail was made as a cure all since the quinine in the tonic water with the botyanicals in the gin were seen as a healthy combo, it’s technically not for our body but it helps your mind.
