What does the The At&T Cocktail taste like?

The AT&T is a refreshing and crisp cocktail. The vodka and gin combine for a smooth, slightly herbal base that is balanced by the tonic water’s bitter, quinine notes. The combination is light and effervescent, making it perfect for a hot summer day or a casual gathering. The gin adds a subtle botanical complexity, while the vodka provides a clean and neutral canvas. It’s a simple yet delightful drink that showcases the versatility of both vodka and gin.

What tips do you have when making the The At&T Cocktail?

The AT&T is a simple yet refreshing cocktail, but getting the balance right is key. Use a high-quality gin for a better flavor profile. Start with a 1:1 ratio of vodka and gin, and adjust to your liking. Chill the tonic water before serving to keep it bubbly. Don’t over-mix the cocktail, as it can make the gin taste overly bitter. A simple garnish of lime or lemon wedge enhances the taste.
