" It&amp;#039;s New Year&amp;#039;s Eve, so I suppose, as far as tonight&amp;#039;s topical drink orders go, that we should be getting behind Blue Moon \u2014 or at least something wintery. (Not necessarily champagne.) But for all the throwback trends we saw from this year in imbibing \u2014 vodka and tequila straight, beer interrupted, maturity, scotch \u2014 the one that caught me most by surprise was, of all things, the gin and tonic. This was a surprise solely because I never thought I&amp;#039;d be drinking one ever again. (Let&amp;#039;s just say my own maturity was not quite in vogue one December 31 when a certain lower-end gin took me down faster than the ball drop \u2014 and before it, too.) But there I found myself on Tuesday afternoon, my attempt at a winter beard defrosting from the negative-twenty-seven-with-the-wind-chill conditions that had overwhelmed my attempt at a quick day on the slopes, ordering a Tanqueray and tonic at the ski-lodge bar. At 180 years old, the T&amp;amp;amp;T isn&amp;#039;t exactly &amp;quot;cool&amp;quot; again. But it remains, upon rediscovery, cool and refreshing \u2014 revitalizing, I guess is more like it \u2014 as ever. It helps, of course, that brand ambassador Angus Winchester rustled up a buncha new recipes from the world&amp;#039;s top bartenders. In case you&amp;#039;re doing the at-home-bartender thing tonight, my favorite is below. In case you&amp;#039;re not, order it again for the first time. (You might need these, too.) The T&amp;amp;amp;T Refreshed Before adding ice, shake together 1.25 oz. Tanqueray, 1 egg white, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice (lime&amp;#039;s okay, too, but fresher is better), 1 oz. simple syrup, and tonic water (4 parts to each of gin is the correct proportion tonight). Add ice, and shake again. Strain into a Collins glass (though a martini glass will suffice, if it&amp;#039;s not one of those soup-bowl types), and top with some more tonic and maybe a lemon twist if you have time.
