I'd rather have lime than 'slimline' tonic.

I refuse to accept that slimline tonic is a real thing.
It depresses me too much.

if "the number of calories in your drink"
is a serious consideration you need to lock yourself in a box until you are quite, quite dead.

You're still a lime-queer.

I wouldn't put it in nice gin

unless you distilled it yourself from rotten potatoes
the quality of the tonic matters way more than the gin. Anything with an artificial sweetner in it is a fucking travesty. That means not only is anything slimline out, but so is UK Schweppes full-fat tonic. As are most supermarket tonics. Sainsburys and Waitrose are the exceptions, and Tesco Finest tonic is OK.

If you're spending more than £15 a bottle on your gin, use Fever Tree. I cannot understand people who'll spend £30 on a bottle of Hendricks or T10 and then put cheap tonic in.

I can understand
it's because they don't give a shit.

Why do people ruin Gin by mixing it with anything?
