Gin and Tonic

I have come to really enjoy gin and tonics. I seem to get them on long airplane flights when I'm in business class and they are free. I've made them at home also. I think I need to experiment with different gins to see which I like the best.

Whenever I drink a gin and tonic I think of the author John Cheever. When I was in college I bought a book of John Cheever short stories. The first line of the first story is..."I sit in the sun drinking gin..." I've never forgotten it - and I say it often when I have gin.
