Well this is that A/B test. I'm glad I did it. I planned this one out, and did it after working an eight and a half hour shift, and getting off work at 11:30PM . I came home and set up shop. They were both incredibly - and equally - refreshing.
I really couldn't discern which was more refreshing. So ultimately, the answer is....do ya want sweet refreshment or sour refreshment? The Cuba Libre will give you sweet, and the Gin & Tonic will give you sour...I'm sure you figured that out already though :).
