Tonic And Tequila

Tonic And Tequila (TT) is a drink from Stockholm, most commonly found in the northern parts of Stockholm and the suburban Västerort.

Name

TT is short for Tonic and Tequila and was dubbed so for the ingredients and the taste (resembling regular Tequila).

Controversy

The drink is sometimes called TnT, from a misunderstanding of the original meaning of the name. This happens most commonly in England where TT have not become such a hit yet.

Ingredients

TT is based upon

  • Tequila: 6 cl (a hunch of Tequila)
  • Tonic: 12 cl (two hunches, often filling up the rest of the glass)
  • 2 Lime wedges
  • Ice, depending on the temperature of the drink

Ice

Depending on the wanted temperature of the drink, use 4-5 large ice cubes for a normal drink, 6-7 for a very cold and 1-2 for a hot drink.

Lime

For added taste, add 1-2 extra lime wedges, although this may have the effect of not making it a TT anymore.

Origin

The drink was created after experiments by Christian and Oscar. After they ran out of gin for Gin and Tonic they still had Tequila left so they decided to make a new drink. It has been a drink at most parties in northern Stockholm since 2008.

The drink appears in an altered form during the finale of the first season of the American dramatic television series Lost, as Ana Lucia Cortez is seen ordering a tequila and tonic, with lemon rather than lime.
