The origin of gin & tonic Did you know that gin tonic originated as a cure for malaria? In the 19th century, the British used tonic water to combat this disease. Back then, tonic water was much more bitter and stronger than what we know today, so they had the brilliant idea of adding gin, sugar, ice, and citrus to improve its taste. And they definitely succeeded! Several centuries later, gin and tonic remains one of the most iconic and popular British drinks worldwide due to its easy preparation, irresistible flavor, and versatility.You can also read: Micheladas and cocktails to watch football2 gin and tonic recipes to toast in style If you're a fan of mixology and gin, the International Gin & Tonic Day is the perfect occasion to toast with one of the special recipes we have for you.
