An aged gin and tonic with attitude.
History:
Not a Gin & Tonic named for MG owners, but one of three G&Ts created for the summer menu at RPM Steak Chophouse in Chicago, USA. The three drinks were named after each of the letters that comprise the restaurant's name with "M" being the last of the three. All that said, I've massively mucked around with the spec of the original RPM recipe. Hopefully for the better.
