I'm a gin and tonic girl. Well, I'm a vodka tonic girl and, to be perfectly honest, I never really enjoyed G&Ts too much until I got the a gin I liked. So, make a note - that part is important.
![This vanilla gin and tonic is refreshing and just a little sweet. A great update on a classic cocktail from RestlessChipotle.com](https://www.restlesschipotle.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/vanilla-gin-and-tonic.jpg)
Admittedly, I am a big fan of girlie drinks. My favorite are sweet, smooth, and taste like some sort of juice or soda. I can drink scotch, bourbon, whiskey, or whatever and I can drink it neat. I can probably drink most of you under the table BUT I prefer smooth, sweet, and soothing.
That's what the vanilla does here.
