What's the difference between a gin and tonic and a martini?
assistant
The main difference between a gin and tonic and a martini is that a gin and tonic uses gin as its base spirit, while a martini typically uses vodka. A gin and tonic also typically includes a mix of other ingredients such as lime juice, sugar syrup or simple syrup, and carbonated water, whereas a martini typically contains only a few ingredients like dry vermouth or white wine. Additionally, a gin and tonic can be served with a garnish such as an orange slice, whereas a martini is traditionally served without any additional garnishes.
