The Gin and Tonic has its origins in colonial India, where quinine was used to prevent malaria and mixed with gin to make it more palatable. Over time, it became one of the most widely enjoyed drinks in the world.
Simple in structure, it relies on the quality of both the gin and the tonic. The balance between the two is what defines the drink. It is crisp, refreshing, and endlessly adaptable.
