It is far from simple, yes you add just a couple of compounds together, but the compounds themselves are complex in nature. It reminds me of the favourite dish of Ferran Adrià, which is pan con tomate, but then how do you make a good olive oil or bread, where does the flower come from, etc., so once again simple in nature, simple in compounds, but far from simple. The same goes for gin (it easily could contain 40 aromatics) and tonic.

Love this, inspiring and encouraging. Jack Rudy is great. I am a aromatic plant grower in QC and enjoy the qualities of traditional drinks, so it's nice to see loyalty to true ingredients. Thank you.

God bless you, Alton Brown. Watching your videos make me calm, and educate me all at once.

I’ve been requesting like crazy more “Liquor in the Library” moments. This is exactly what I was hoping for!! Fabulous!! I could watch a million of these. THANKS, Alton! 💜

Mr. Brown, you are a genius. I have been a gin and tonic drinker a very long time. My son, an exec chef at a golf club in Indiana also love them. Tonight we toasted to your gin and tonic recipe via facetime, I live in Florida. That tonic syrup makes an excellent substitute for tonic water. Keep the great videos coming!!

Great history! The story always helps the cocktail experience!

I am a huge fan of gins of all types!!!! Flavorful variations make the Gin and Tonic wildly diverse cocktails. Thank you!!

I really enjoyed AB detailing the history of my favourite drink. Also his recommendation for London Dry I'll give it a try as well. Thanks Alton!

Found this by accident today! What a delight it is and it made me smile, as you always do AB. Thanks for putting it up for us. oh, yeah, BTW, you look just as handsome these days as you did back then, maybe even more. "Too thin" Alton just wasn't right. Love ya'!

I bonsai'd a small lime tree for a lady friend that only has the occasional drink in summer. Every ten days a full size lime would be ready during the hot season. The "bouquet" that a freshly picked lime added to the drink was just amazing. Most fruit lose this trait within two days of being picked. Even added a small Bay window over the kitchen sink to catch the sun in beautiful White Rock, BC, Canada.

This video is great. I do miss this week's QQ episode. Please keep up the good work. Also please keep making QQ episodes. They are really enjoyable.

I loved it! Thank you, Alton!

This is the perfect video to pop up on my feed after making a gin and tonic, thanks Alton!

My Favorite and now I'll try to make my own Tonic. Thanks AB

This is the grownup version of what I watched as a kid! love it!

Thanks for a classic Alton 'short!'

Gin & Tonic season is upon us. I can't wait to sip on one of these outside on a patio (if Ontario ever gets to that point again). It's much more likely that I'll be enjoying them at home. After much experimentation, I think I've found the perfect G&T recipe. Put two ounces of gin with the juice of half a lime in a cocktail shaker, fill it with ice, shake for 20 seconds or so, strain into a glass that's also filled with ice, top it off with a bottle of Fever Tree elderflower tonic.

I love the way he gives history lessons that you want to hear. Mario Batali does the same thing . My 2 favorite chefs

I always feel a little smarter whenever I watch an Alton Brown video. Bless you sir.

I so so so agree, the best Summer drink invented... my mouth is watering...thanks for sharing.

G&Ts are amazing! My go-to for sure. I need to check out that concentrate, but I do love Fever Tree.

If you have never suffered from any of the aforesaid ailments, you owe it all to gin & tonic. Wonderful stuff.

When I was a youngin my brother decided to learn me on the joys of gin and tonic. Some wonderful memories were made !

Thanks for posting this! I spend most of my days drinking neat bourbon. But G&T is my very favorite cocktail. I love the challenge of making more complicated drinks, but none of them satisfy me as much as a bit of gin, a bit of tonic, and a bit of lime on ice.

Love me a good G&T, and you've given me some great ideas to try, thanks!

He had the best cooking show on TV (Good Eats). Full of good recipes, tips and s great sense of humour. Miss the shows.

Had my first gin and tonic today. Thank you Alton. Hendricks is darn good and we loved the tonic concentrate.. Always thought I hated gin. Now I know my parents just bought crappy cheap booze.

This is why I like you. I find out I’m making one of my favorite foods or drinks wrong and you make it better. On my way to get some Tonic concentrate now.

Native Charlestonian here. I've never heard of this quinine concentrate before. I'm definitely going to rethink my GNT now. My preference for gin is Bombay. I think this is going to be delicious! Thanks!

My favourite drink !! Well done 👍

Thanks for the recommendation on the tonic mix and gin. It has changed many of my friends' opinions on gin and tonic.

Gin and tonic is my favorite cocktail, because everybody knows how to make it and as long as you use quality ingredients, it’s impossible to mess up.

I couldn't agree more! The ultimate summer drink!

The AB of my youth. Loved it.

Educational and informative as always. Alton's culinary curricul, is how I got plenty of 'friends' in college. 😁

I love this so much

G & T or any classic gin drink really, is my favorite refreshing drink on a warm day. My name sake liquor and happy to say I've toured a gin distillery in The Netherlands. Excellent example of top notch ingredients making the drink ever so better. Current favs: Aviation, St George, and Sipsmith gins and Q tonics. Always w/ a lime.

A man of class and good taste, I see! As a fellow Southerner, I will also swear by the medicinal properties of a good gin and tonic with lime. My da's favorite was always Tanqueray, but I'm partial to Bombay Sapphire myself.

The feeling when you and Alton share a favorite gin.
