When making a cocktail with just a couple of ingredients the better they are the better your drink will be. Simple, right? A key ingredient should never be an afterthought. Not so important with a Jack and Coke, but with a drink like the gin and tonic it’s worth taking stock of your options.

Assuming you already have a fine tasting gin – and I don’t know why you’d be drinking bad gin because bad gin has a way of being really exceptionally bad – I recommend mixing it with Q Tonic. Yeah, it’s around $2 for a 187ml bottle, but the difference is astounding. Q is noticeably less sweet than standard tonic brands and has a more complex flavor profile that actually compliments gin rather than overpowering it. Q is so pleasant it’s the first tonic water I’ve tried that I drink on it’s own. Compared to Q, a G&T made with Schweppes might as well be a gin and Sprite.

    Your drinks correspondent clearly lives in a big city to have such a variety of tonic to choose from.

    You don’t have to live in a city to get a choice of tonic waters. You just have to know where to look. Or you could buy it using the link.

    Terre Haute IN has been called many things, but big it is not.
