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.

G&T可能是英国最具标志性的混合饮品——杜松子酒加汤力水、冰块，通常还配一片柠檬或青柠。它从药用饮品（汤力水中的奎宁用于抗疟疾）演变为一种精致的鸡尾酒。精酿杜松子酒的兴起将平凡的G&T提升为一门艺术，特定的杜松子酒搭配特定的汤力水。

El G&T es quizás la bebida combinada más emblemática de Gran Bretaña: ginebra con tónica, hielo y normalmente una rodaja de limón o lima. Evolucionó de una bebida medicinal (la quinina de la tónica combatía la malaria) a un cóctel sofisticado. El auge de la ginebra artesanal ha elevado el humilde G&T a una forma de arte, con tónicas específicas maridadas con ginebras específicas.

G&Tはおそらくイギリスで最も象徴的なミックスドリンク——ジンにトニックウォーター、氷、そしてたいていレモンかライムのスライスを添える。薬用ドリンク（トニックに含まれるキニーネがマラリア予防に使われた）から洗練されたカクテルへと進化した。クラフトジンブームにより、質素なG&Tは芸術の域にまで高められ、特定のジンに特定のトニックを合わせるようになった。
