The Vodka Tonic grew out of the popularity of the Gin and Tonic, offering a cleaner, more neutral alternative. As vodka rose to prominence in the mid twentieth century, this became a go to highball.
It combines vodka and tonic water for a drink that is light, crisp, and easy to enjoy. The simplicity means the quality of both ingredients really matters. It is also one of the easiest cocktails to make well.
