G&T
意味: Gin and tonic; a classic British cocktail.
The G&T is perhaps Britain's most iconic mixed drink—gin with tonic water, ice, and usually a slice of lemon or lime. It evolved from a medicinal drink (quinine in tonic fought malaria) to a sophisticated cocktail. The craft gin boom has elevated the humble G&T to an art form, with specific tonics paired with specific gins.
