Cocktail: Weeknight Gin & Tonic

Ahh the gin and tonic.
Of course, this is just how to make a gin & tonic that you can drink any day of the week, but this is a weeknight gin & tonic because it is a no-frills, one cup, easy-to-make cocktail that you can throw together any weekend night for a crisp, refreshing beverage break after a tough day of work...or doing absolutely nothing.
Don't have any plans on a Friday night? Now you do! Drinking one of these is your damned plan. So get out your coasters, put them next to your computer, and follow these rules.
My friend J said I make good gin & tonics, but honestly I don't know anything I'm doing that's special. I use cheap gin (Gordon's, in a freaking plastic bottle nonetheless) and Safeway brand DIET tonic water. What makes any cocktail, however, is fresh squeezed lime.
So here you go.

Get a pint glass (just a tall glass that you even use for water at your house will do).
Pour in 2 shot glasses full of gin. Now you don't want to get hammered by yourself...well maybe you do. Put in 3 if you want.
Squeeze in the juice of one whole lime. Strain seeds with your hand.
Now the ice, maybe four cubes.
Top off with tonic water and enjoy!

In summary:
-2 shots gin
-juice of 1 lime
-4 ice cubes
-top with tonic water (1/2 to 2/3 of the total volume)

Treat yourself nice with a lime slice on the rim, or screw it. You're already drinking by yourself, who the hell are you trying to impress!
