“A classic Gin and Tonic is one of my favorite drinks, especially on a warm day. The perfect combination of gin, tonic water, and a touch of lime creates a refreshing and crisp experience. The Thomy Twist of adding a cucumber slice takes the drink to another level, making it even fresher and less bitter.”

The Story Behind the Gin and Tonic
The Gin and Tonic is one of the most iconic and refreshing cocktails, beloved for its simplicity and crisp flavor. Whether enjoyed on a sunny day or at a lively gathering, it’s a timeless choice. In the UK, this cocktail has become a national favorite, often referred to as the ‘G&T’. It’s not only a go-to drink at pubs and bars but also a staple at garden parties, summer festivals, and weekend get-togethers. While the recipe has remained unchanged for generations, I love giving this classic a little twist—add a slice of cucumber to the mix for a slightly fresher, less bitter flavor that elevates the experience.
