Proper Gin and Tonic

My go to is Tanqueray, fresh lime and regular store brand tonic water.
About two ounces of gin, 1/4 slice of lime - squeezed into the gin and dropped in - add ice and finish with the tonic water so I'd guess that would be about 2-3oz of that.
Give a little stir with a knife or whatever is handy and enjoy!
 
Last year when I was in Mumbai the bar at the Taj Mahal Palace served Sepoy Indian Tonic Water. So far unable to locate in the USA.

This is not my go to, but if you’ve read Ruark you’ve heard of “pink gin.” This is my interpretation:

In a whiskey glass, fill a quarter full of cubed ice, then fill another quarter full with crushed ice (that’s half full, for those of you in Rio Linda).
Add bout + oz gin
Top with HEB lime mineral water OR your preferred tonic water
Garnish with lime wedge
 
Lemon not lime for me :cool: :D Cheers:

The app is giving me fits, but this is supposed to read four ounces gin and as many dashes of bitters before the tonic hits.
 
About a half century ago at the bar in the O-Club at the ANZUK base in Singapore the standard T&T used a haif a lime squeezed in the glass. If you wanted a "double" you got the whole lime. Delicious!!!! JM
