The history of the Gin and Tonic dates back to the 19th century, during the British colonization of India. At that time, quinine, a bitter remedy extracted from cinchona bark, was used to prevent and treat malaria, a disease endemic in the region. To make quinine consumption more palatable, British soldiers began mixing it with gin and sugar, giving rise to this now legendary cocktail. This medicinal origin also explains the essential presence of tonic water in the traditional recipe.
Over the decades, the gin and tonic has evolved, gaining popularity particularly in the United Kingdom, where it became a favorite drink of the middle and upper classes. Today, it is celebrated internationally, with a multitude of recipes and variations to suit tastes and trends, each offering a unique flavor profile, from floral gins to subtle tonics and innovative garnishes.
