Like almost all the other lads, my favourite is the classic Gin/Tonic with a twist of lime. Other than freshely brewed tea, it's my all-summer drink.

A couple questions... and going to ask them without fear of sounding stupid .. because I wear a kilt and fear NOTHING!
Does all the mixer need is gin to be a Tom Collins?
Do I need to make either the tonic water or mixer cold? What is quinine? Did I forget anything?
**** and now I am a samurai?!?!?!?! Whoa...
The Collins mix should be ready for Gin.
Quinine

If it's really nice gin, maybe you have a friend who'll swap it for some Scotch?

G&T most definitely!
But I am very fussy about my gins - only Gordon's or Plymouth (pref the naval version) Gin!

I agree! As Eliza said in "My Fair Lady" - "Gin was mother's milk to me."
(Literally true, as my mother was wont to have a G&T or martini and then nurse the baby - until she realized that the baby didn't like the tase of gin - YET!)
