Vodka and gin, poured over ice and topped with tonic water, make up the AT&T, a lighter variation on the familiar gin and tonic. The addition of vodka contributes neutral spirit strength without substantially altering the flavor, so the gin's botanicals and the tonic's quinine bitterness remain the dominant notes. Stirred and served in a highball glass, the drink reaches roughly 10 percent alcohol by volume. Its effervescence and bittersweet finish come from the tonic, which carries the cocktail while the two base spirits supply the underlying backbone.

History & Origins
The AT&T cocktail takes its name from the American telecommunications corporation, likely coined as a bar joke referencing a connection between two spirits — vodka and gin — just as the company connected telephone networks. Its origin is disputed, and it belongs to the informal tradition of bar-culture named cocktails with humorous references rather than a documented inventor. The combination of gin and vodka with tonic became popular in the 1980s and 1990s.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Light juniper and botanical notes from the gin, with the clean neutral scent of vodka and the slightly medicinal quinine of tonic water. Palate: Refreshing and effervescent; the gin's botanicals integrate with the neutral vodka while the tonic provides bitter-sweetness and carbonation. Finish: Clean and moderately bitter, with a lasting quinine note.
Pro Tip
Add the tonic water last, pouring gently down the side of the glass to preserve maximum carbonation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is in an AT&T cocktail?
The AT&T cocktail combines vodka, gin, and tonic water, resulting in approximately 10% ABV. The name is a playful reference to the telecommunications company, though the drink itself is simply a hybrid of two classic gin-based preparations—the vodka tonic and the gin and tonic.
How does an AT&T differ from a standard gin and tonic?
An AT&T uses both vodka and gin where a standard gin and tonic uses only gin, effectively splitting the spirit base between the two. This creates a slightly softer botanical character than a pure gin and tonic while maintaining a similar overall flavor profile.
Is the AT&T a long drink or a short drink?
The AT&T is a long drink, served over ice in a highball glass topped with tonic water. Its relatively modest ABV of around 10% and refreshing carbonation from the tonic make it a sessionable cocktail suitable for casual, extended drinking occasions.
