2 oz Bushmills Irish Whiskey

GT Swizzle

.5 oz tonic syrup (or tonic water, to taste)

Add liquid ingredients (except bitters) to a Collins glass and fill halfway with crushed ice. Nestle two of the lime wheels against the interior of the glass, and add crushed ice to hold in place and to fill. Use a swizzle stick or a barspoon to swizzle the drink until a thin film of ice coats the outside of the glass. Add more crushed ice to fill, and garnish with the final lime wheel. Dash bitters onto the ice. Serve with a straw.
