The Gin and Tonic originated in the British East India Company in the early 19th century. Quinine, derived from cinchona bark, was found to be effective against malaria. Soldiers were given quinine in tonic water, but its bitter taste was unpalatable. They added gin, sugar, and lime to make it more palatable, thus creating the Gin and Tonic.

The Gin and Tonic offers a refreshing balance of bitter, sweet, and citrusy flavors.
The dominant flavor is the bitterness of quinine from the tonic water, which is tempered by the sweetness often added to modern tonic syrups or the dry botanicals of the gin. The gin contributes its own distinct character, depending on the botanicals used, often featuring juniper, coriander, citrus peels, and other herbs and spices. A wedge of lime or lemon adds a crucial element of acidity and brightness.

Gin Choice Matters
Experiment with different styles of gin (London Dry, New Western, Old Tom) to find your preferred flavor profile. A bolder gin will stand up better to a strongly flavored tonic.
Tonic Quality is Key
Use high-quality tonic water, as it significantly impacts the overall taste. Consider artisanal tonics made with natural quinine and less sugar.
Garnish Wisely
Lime is classic, but lemon, grapefruit, or even sprigs of rosemary or thyme can add complexity. Express the oils from the citrus peel over the drink before dropping it in.
Ice is Essential
Use plenty of good quality ice. Large cubes melt slower and dilute the drink less quickly.
