A gin and tonic is a highball cocktail made with gin and tonic water poured onto the ice. Usually decorated with lemon or lime. The amount of gin varies according to taste. The recommended gin to tonic ratio is between 1: 1 and 1: 3.
In some countries (eg England), gin and tonics are also marketed before being mixed in one serving can. In the United States, most bars use "soda from an impossible pistol, a shape or shape resembling quinine water", according to Dale DeGroff bartender. To get a real gin and tonic, DeGroff recommends to determine a bottle tonic. Alternatively, one can add a tonic syrup to the soda water.
Drink is a particular phenomenon because it feels very different from the flavor of its rather bitter constituent fluid. The chemical structure of both materials has the same molecular shape and attracts one another, protecting bitter taste.
These are commonly referred to as "G and T" in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. In some parts of the world, this is called a "gin tonic" (eg German, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese ??????? - "tonic" ginofon). Some brands will replace the word "gin" with their own brand or early in the recipe. For example, "Sapphire and Tonic" for Bombay Sapphire, "Hendrick's and Tonic" for Hendrick's Gin (garnished with cucumber to further differentiate it), or "T & amp; T" for Tanqueray.

Ornamental
Gins and tonics are traditionally adorned with sliced ​​or sliced ​​lime, often slightly squeezed into a beverage before being placed in the glass. In most of the lime world remains the only ordinary decoration; However, in the UK it has become common to use lemon as an alternative fruit; the use of both common pieces is known as "Evans". Although the origin of the use of lemon is unknown, its use has been around since the 1930s. In addition lemons are more readily available, and less expensive to buy, rather than lime. The use of lemon or lime is a contentious issue and while leading brands, such as Gordon, Tanqueray, and Bombay Sapphire recommend the use of lime, the founder of Fevertree Tonic Water prefers lemon. Some people decorate Beefeater-based gin and tonics and orange slices, to complement the use of the orange Sevilla Beefeater in its herbs. A gin and tonic served with Gin Hendrick is usually given a slice of cucumber. However, garnis cucumbers are very rare, and orange ornaments are still rare.

History
Cocktails were introduced by British East India Company soldiers in India. In India and other tropical regions, malaria is an ongoing problem. In the 1700s was discovered by Scottish physician George Cleghorn that quinine can be used to prevent and treat disease. Quinine was drunk in tonic water, but it tasted bitterly unpleasant. British officers in India in the early nineteenth century began to add a mixture of water, sugar, lemon, and gin into quinine to make the drink better, so that gin and tonic was born. Soldiers in India have been given a share of gin, and that sweet potion makes sense. Because it is no longer used as an antimalarial, tonic water currently contains less quinine, is usually sweetened, and consequently much less bitter.
Gin and tonics are popular cocktails during the summer. A 2004 study found that after 12 hours, "a considerable amount (500 to 1,000 ml) of tonic water may, for a short time, cause quinine plasma levels at lower therapeutic efficacy and may, in fact, lead to temporary suppression of the parasite." This quinine consumption method is impractical for malaria prophylaxis, since the amount of drug required "can not be maintained even with a tonic in large quantities". The authors concluded that it was not an effective form of malaria treatment.
Spanish variations
In Spain, variations in drinks called Gin-Tonic have become popular. This is different from traditional gin and tonic as it is served in a balloon glass (copa de balloon) or glass coupe with lots of ice and garnishes that are tailored to taste. The drink can be fruit-based but the use of spices and vegetables, reflecting the bots, is becoming more popular. Balloon glasses are used because the scent of the drink can gather at the opening so that the drinker is more appreciative.
The popularity of this variation in gin and tonic has led to the formation of a Gin-Tonic bar, where customers can choose the gin, tonics, and garnishes they like from the menu.
