What is the best snack food that goes with gin & tonic?

[El Supremo]

I only drink Gin & tonic when it is hot outside. It feels good. But somehow pretzels, nuts or chips just don't go well with it.

1. Cheese and Crackers, or Real Popcorn with Butter

Doesn't sound good perhaps, but those are my snacks of choice when I'm having a nip here at home.

2. carrots and celery with ranch dressing

cool, cool ranch dressing

3. Well I can tell you DEFINITELY NOT

Cajun-flavored popcorn.

Oh dear god. Worst combination ever. Of course, it may have also had something to do with the 4 pts of guiness that I drank along side my gins & tonics.

At any rate, Cajun-Flavoured popcorn and guiness do NOT go well with g&t

4. Ho-Ho's

Or, Little Debbie in a pinch. Try dunking them.

6. I'm not talking about the "munchies" - sheesh!

5. Chips N Salsa

7. Tabouleh.

It's more a salad than a snack food, but it goes quite nicely with gin & tonic (and a twist of lime). Like you, I can only handle gin & tonic in the summer. It's perfect for a hot day!

Right now I'm drinking REAL beer! My trusty friends always bring me back a 12er when they go out of town. (I live in Utah, home of the watered-down beer).

15. By god, I think you did really hit on it. Tabouleh is great and

I bet it will be great with ginnantonnix.

8. Wheat Thins and Cheddar and/or peanuts

9. The sidewalk...

That's what I always wound up eating when I drank those.

edited for fun....

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Limes, of course!

[flamingyouth]

13. I like olives stuffed with either garlic or almonds

Of course, they're salty, so then you drink more, but that's the risk you take.:D
