A Military and Medicinal History
The history of the Gin & Tonic dates back to the 19th century, when British soldiers stationed in India had to consume quinine to protect themselves from malaria. Quinine, which was extremely bitter, was mixed with sparkling water, sugar, lemon, and gin to make it more palatable. This is how the Gin & Tonic transitioned from a colonial medicine to an elegant and essential cocktail found in bars and on terraces worldwide.
