Tonic

My cousin's wife (who's a bartender) turned me on to a tonic syrup that is made locally in Seattle. Kina Tonic by Bradley's is really tasty! I started using it in tequila and tonics, but it's really made for gin and tonics. Bradley's also makes a barrel aged version of this tonic that I haven't tried yet.

Bradley's Suggested Proportions
1 part tonic
2 parts gin (or tequila)
4 parts sparkling water (or club soda)
lime juice to taste (I use about 1/4 to 1/2 parts)

I usually make drinks with about 2 ounces of alcohol.
