What is "gin and tonic"?

Gin and tonic is a classic cocktail that is enjoyed around the world. It is made with gin, tonic water, and a slice of lime, which are poured over ice in a highball glass. The cocktail is known for its refreshing and crisp taste, with the gin providing a botanical and slightly herbal flavor and the tonic water adding a slightly bitter and effervescent finish. Gin and tonic can be customized with various types of gin, such as London dry or flavored gins like cucumber or elderflower, and it can also be served with different types of tonic water, such as light or flavored tonics. The drink is often enjoyed as a pre-dinner drink or as a refreshing summer beverage.
