Gin Tonic, which is commonly called G&T, is the cocktail symbol of England. It dates back to colonial times, when British soldiers consumed Indian Tonic Water, containing the therapeutic quinine, to defend themselves from heat and tropical diseases such as malaria. To make the consumption more pleasant, and to dampen the bitter taste, the soldiers combined tonic water with their main distillate, gin, which was transported by ship to all the colonies. Thus was born the Gin Tonic: aperitif par excellence in the Anglo-Saxon world and famous all over the world.
