Absolut (i personally prefer Absolut Citron), soda and a slice of lemon (or lime).

Mojitos are great too - not sure of the exact ingredients - usually rum but I prefer vodka, lime, mint & some soda. Yummy!

Ooooh - Both of the Parrot Bay's & some pineapple juice - either over ice or blended!

I like Tito's vodka made in Austin, Texas. You can mix anything in tonic water.

You have all the ingredients, now mix and taste to your preference.

a simple one is vodka and tonic water.
just add ice and a touch of lemon in a tall glass.
my favorite drink.

The best drinks to make with tonic are also made with either vodka or gin, and you can mix in lemon, lime or orange slices for a different twist. You can also use your flavored vodkas for a nice twist!
If you are using vodka and tonic try adding just a splash of lime, cranberry or pineapple juice for a little color and a little flavor without it being over powering like a "girly drink"
Have fun with it, and see what you can con cocked!

Go to http://www.drinksmixer.com/desc677.html there you could find 152 drink recipes that includes tonic water.
TIP: Get Tabasco, Angostura bitters, olive, cocktail onions
For Gin I like Beefeater, Tanqueray or Gordon (in that order).
Need to add some whiskey and Bourbon.

Remember the recipes provide you with a good starting point from which you can choose to expand from. If the recipe call for a specific brand, you could change it and with it the name, example Tanqueray and Tonic for Beefeater and Tonic or Gordon and Tonic.

Cheers!!!!
