I know feel better about my teaspoon-ish teaser of Rose’s Lime Syrup I used to put in my G&T’s in my college days in the early aughts. It got a lot of compliments from the fairer gender.
After visiting Barr Hill distillery in Montpelier, VT I returned home with their regular + Tom Cat gins and a bottle of their tonic syrup. Bit of a splurge (the syrup is ~$30/375ml bottle) but it's really delicious (made with real cinchona bark + Barr Hill's own raw honey) and with their excellent eponymous gin makes a superb G&T. Well worth a visit if ever in the area (they have a great cocktail bar too).
Add 3 dashes of Ango to this recipe and it makes a different but still wonderfully refreshing cocktail. A pink gin and tonic!
Came here to suggest this too, pink G&Ts are my favorite (and the lime is essential).
Quick, while Peter isn't looking - post your favorite vodka cocktails!

Your ratios are intriguing. I prefer 2:1, while my wife is closer to your ratio, or maybe even 4:1.
Euro Schweppes isn’t bad, but in the US I can’t drink a G&T if it’s not Fever Tree tonic.
Oh yeah—and lime. Lots of lime. But “G & T & L” just doesn’t roll off the tongue the same way, does it?

I remember Surge. What ever happened to it? (And OK Soda too.)
I particularly like a gin and tonic with BOTH lime AND lemon (especially this time of year, when I can still get Meyer lemons pretty easily).
Wouldn’t a Fresca work even better than a Surge?
