Gin and Tonic oprindelse
Today we drink a Gin and Tonic for pleasure. But at the origins of Gin and Tonic, expatriate British soldiers drank the cocktail to avoid malaria. Back then, tonic contained quinine, which had a protective effect – and that was precisely what they were looking for.
However, the tonic had a very bitter taste due to the quinine. So it made the soldiers add gin and lemon or lime – and Gin and Tonic became a reality.
