Which cocktail is built with gin and tonic in a highball, typically served with a lime wedge garnish?

• A. Cuba Libre
• B. Moscow Mule
• C. Rusty Nail
• D. Gin and Tonic

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is matching a gin-based long drink that’s built in a tall glass with tonic as the mixer and a lime wedge as garnish. That description points to gin and tonic: gin mixed with tonic water, served over ice in a highball glass, and typically garnished with a lime wedge. The other options don’t fit this combination: a Cuba Libre is rum with cola and lime; a Moscow Mule is vodka with ginger beer and lime, usually in a copper mug; a Rusty Nail is scotch with Drambuie. So the drink that exactly matches gin plus tonic in a highball with a lime garnish is the gin and tonic.
