I have New Amsterdam in the glass here. No tonic here though, rather ice and very wet olives and a drip of vermouth.

I've been trying the less juniper-y ones recently and find that many are too delicate in taste to hold up to tonic water. Perhaps it is the diet tonic I must use

I like a nice vodka and tonic.

But the only vodka I have right now is flavored (pear), which doesn’t go well with tonic water. So I opted for the G&T...
