HuffPost Taste recently conducted a taste test to find out the best recipe for gin & tonics using readily-available brands of gin and tonic water, much as we did with margaritas a few weeks ago. We mixed up 26 different combinations of nine kinds of gin and three kinds of tonic water, adding ice and lime wedges to each one to keep things realistic, then rated each on palatability. (We used a ratio of two parts gin to three parts tonic water, if you care.)
