Gin and tonics.

I mean don't spare the tonic. There's a reason it's called tonic. Use a good brand. And a healthy squeeze of lime will prevent the scurvy, if yours is not an orange juice drinking nation.

I have been researching the gin and tonic problem lately and have come to the conclusion that the tonic is possibly more important than the gin. So far, Schweppes is the only tonic I've found that have adequate carbonation. Canada dry goes flat instantly, as do all the others. I've even tried a couple of the hippy artisanal tonics and they plain suck.

And fireflies. Yeah.

The lodge we stayed at by Yosemite had these drinks called Hetch Hetchy Mules. Really yummy.

Vodka, ginger liqueur, ginger beer, gingershrub bitters, and fresh lime.

I'd love to recreate it, but how hard is it going to be to track down all that stuff?

How many frequent flier miles do you have?

I only have Angostura bitters, not gingershrub bitters, but all the other ingredients are in my kitchen right now. So, not too tough. Do you have a Trader Joe's nearby? I think I got my ginger liqueur from the local liquor store, the other stuff is not very exotic.
