Ounces are US fluid ounces (29.57 ml), rounded.
There is no official specification for a G&T; most recipes call for between one part gin to one of tonic and one to three. We use 1:3, which keeps it refreshing.
Use lots of ice so the drink stays cold without diluting quickly, and pour the tonic gently (down a bar spoon, if you like) to keep the bubbles.
The ratio of gin to tonic varies with taste and the strength of the gin, with most recipes calling for between 1:1 and 1:3. It is usually garnished with a slice or wedge of lime.
