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

[edit] Name
TT is short for Tonic and Tequila and was dubbed so for the ingredients and the taste (resembling regular Tequila).
[edit] Controversy
The drink is sometimes called TnT, from a missunderstanding of the original meaning of the name. This happens most commonly in England where TT have not become such a hit yet.
[edit] 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 (see below)
[edit] Ice
Depending on the wanted temperature of the drink, you should have about 4-5 large ice cubes for a normal drink, 6-7 for a very cold and 1-2 for a hot drink.
[edit] Lime
For added taste, add 1-2 extra Lime Wedges, altough this may have the effect of not making it a TT anymore. See above ingredients for the original drink recipe.
[edit] 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. At first it wasnt such a hit but it got the job done and thats what they wanted. It has been a standard drink on most parties in northern Stockholm since 2008.
