A vodka tonic is a long drink made with varying proportions of vodka and tonic water. Vodka tonics are frequently garnished with a slice of lime or lemon.

One commonly used recipe is one part vodka and one part tonic water in a tumbler, often a highball glass over ice, with a generous lime wedge squeezed into it.^{[1][dead link]}

The drink is referenced in the lyrics of the song "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John.^{[citation needed]}

The drink is referenced in the book From Russia with Love by Ian Fleming. In chapter 17, second paragraph Bond sips a vodka and tonic whilst watching the sunset over the Golden Horn in Istanbul. See citation below.
