    Good idea on the ice cubes.

    Even better, skip the limes and try a couple of slices of fresh cucumber (rub one slice around the rim of the glass before dropping in) just lifts the whole drink up and makes it taste so fantastic!

    Mix Gin and lime juice in bottom of the glass, put one small pinch of salt - it will bring out the lime and gin flavors and you won't notice it. Slowly top off with tonic water and garnish.
