A Gin & Tonic is one of my favorite drinks. I think a lot of people consider it a summer drink. Not me. It's more of a fall drink to me. In my eyes, summer drinks are things like iced tea and beer and drinks with elaborate umbrellas in them.
The Food Network site calls this recipe the "perfect" Gin & Tonic. I'm not sure why they say that, considering it's not incredibly different than a dozen other Gin & Tonic recipes I've seen (though I guess ease and familiarity doesn't mean something isn't perfect). One step that is a little different is the part where you use tonic water for the ice cubes, which I've never thought of doing before.
The funniest part of this is where they "recommend" that you use Schweppes Tonic Water and Plymouth Gin. Really? Using those brands will make a difference, eh? Ha.
