the bombay saphire, kroger brand tonic with quinene, a big splash of kroger lime juce, and some lime slices. I am far, far from a con-ti-soo-war of anyting, but that was yum-yum. was drinking too many of them by the pool in the summer had to quit, but mah gawd thats yummy.

Is it too much to squeeze a lime?

Depends on your rate of consumption and degree of laziness.

To me, the biggest thing is fresh tonic. Whatever you leave in the bottle, though sealed and in the fridge, tastes markedly worse even after an hour or two. So I like the small bottles, which is kinda wasteful both in terms of cash and glass. Helps to limit my home consumption because, damn, yeah, what a great summer drink.
+1 on the Bombay original (and Sapphire, of course) and Beefeater. Sapphire is probably my favorite clear booze of all. Man, good stuff.If we're gonna wear uniforms, we should all wear somethin' different!

4 glasses on, bottle of tonic is empty and the bag of limes is half gone. Will repeat experiment layer this week.
I honestly think that cheating and using lime juice takes a lot of the flavor from the aromatic oils in the lime skin out of the drink.
was that douchey enough?

Yes it was. Lol
That juice's ingredients list the oils specifically; it's good stuff.

A G&T, to me, is a one-timer to kick off happy hour and cool off after something hot and strenuous like cutting the grass or a polo match. Or sitting in a chair in the sun. I'm flexible on that.
A second G&T is never a good idea imo, enjoy the one drink, then have something else. For that one, it might as well be good. I'm not on a quest, but for me, Beefeater, Schweppes, decent limes, nice glass, I'm fine.
Maybe like 4 oz. of gin in that drink

My approach is lightweight with the G&T: I just have 1 with only 1-1.5 oz of gin.

You people call yourself ski lifestyle enthusiasts and you quit after one G&T!?!
Bunch of fucking teetotalers is what we have here I tell ya!
By the way, love how KQ's article calls the G&T a "great lunchtime sharpener". Yeah, that's what I'm going to call it too when I have a few with lunch this week.I still call it The Jake.

Well the way I approach it is that drink has to last for a while. I don't mind putting more ice in it. But if someone catches you putting more booze in it you're in trouble. Or I am, at least. So, strong initial pour and work from there.

Fair enough, and strong tactic.

No second G&T has ever tasted as good as the first one. That's just a fact.
