Exactly. G&T is essentially an important preventative medicine, and I should drink it more often so I won't get malaria here in the North East of the UK.
Edit: Note that I don't drink that often but even thinking about a G&T literally makes my mouth water.
Unfortunately the same can't be said for G&T, much as I want to like it.
A good gin and tonic also includes a lime wedge. Even a little of this in the drink makes a big difference.
(Yes, there are definitely other gins that would work, and indeed, other tonics — but these are the more popular big names which you will have more luck finding at bars.)
Mango slices and pepper . They have a certain chemical that binds with the stuff inside gin and makes it better.

[2] Amazon.com doesn't sell beer or spirits. Weird.
It isn't weird if you know how strange the alcohol laws can be across North America, including Canada. Shipping alcohol from one state (or province, in my case) to another isn't always possible.
I believe this is a strong indication that you were doing it right. ;o)
Spoiler for the mere-mortal version: store your gin in the freezer, use a fresh bottle of tonic water stored on ice, serve in a highball glass (you're not well equipped enough to do his champagne flute version), 1 3/4 oz gin to 3 1/4 tonic --- measure the tonic by first measuring 5 oz of plain water into the glass, noting the water level, and free-pouring the tonic to that same level (jiggering the tonic loses too much carbonation).

it's quite a good tonic when prepared correctly.
Oh yes - gin and tonic should be rightfully considered India's national drink. Its what the British had to invent to not die.
