Bartender’s tips and advice
- This is a true British cocktail. The recipe dates back to the soldiers of the British East India Company in India. They used the bitter Quinine against malaria. To make Quinine more tasty it was mixed with Gin and lemon juice. When the company Schweppes developed not only bottled soda water but also Tonic Water that has Quinine as an ingredient, it was just a few steps until the Gin Tonic cocktail became a popular mix.
