Highball glass, half full of ice

Add high quality gin to cover ice

Fill with tonic

Lime wedge, squeeze a few drops of juice and drop wedge into glass.

I'm with Bob. Just started drinking mine with a dash of bitters in the last few months. Delicious!!!

Gin rocks. God bless malaria. Just kidding, of course.

Bob, Dyl, are you using the Bitters in place of the lime, or in addition to?
Lately, I've been squeezing fresh lime juice into the bottom of a 14oz glass, filling halfway with ice, 2 inches of tonic, then filling with gin until the ice is covered, and topping off iwth more tonic...Throw in 2 wedges of fresh cut lime, and you are golden

As for me, I use a little dash of the bitters in addition to lime, but it sounds like you use more lime than I do.
