Gin and Tonic

They call this the depressed man’s drink. More like the cure to depression if you ask us.

This one's an absolute classic that will make you feel as though you’re hanging with Hollywood royalty back in the 60s when the drink was all the rage.

It's also probably one of the easiest of the lot: just mix gin and tonic water over ice and garnish with a lime wedge. A definite must-try for a small home gathering.
