Additional Details

". . . Recipe for drink: a gin and tonic Presbyterian; can also be used for vodka and tonic Presbyterian, or Baccardi white rum and tonic ditto. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes; pour in an inch of the spirits being used; fill to within an inch of the top with water and add three-quarters of an inch of tonic . . . . Add a thin slice of lemon. Stir well enough for the ingredients to mix. Club soda can be substituted for the water. Made properly, it tastes like a dry lemonade with a kick and takes away the curse of drinking too many gin and tonics: the sour taste on one's tongue is notably absent. . . ."
