It's sometimes called the gin tonic; in the U.K., it's often referred to as a G&T. Whatever name you give it, the gin and tonic is a classic cocktail and mixed drink that doesn't require a cocktail shaker, muddling spoon, or other mixology equipment. It doesn't even require a special glass like a martini does. It's a refreshing cold drink on a hot summer night when a more boozy cocktail would be too much. In fact, there are those who assert the G&T is a summer drink, but there are others—many others, actually—who believe this classic is a refreshing sip any time of the year.
