For the longest time, gin and tonics were a British staple. Gin and tonics are a classic among many amazing cocktails. They have a bitter taste, but can be diluted with lime and sugar to make them more palatable. Gin and tonics are worthy of being celebrated, no matter where you get it.

The British East India Company’s reign in India in the 1700’s was when the cocktail idea was born. Malaria was a problem in India, where it had been rife for a while. George Cleghorn, an American doctor who was originally from Scotland, discovered that quinine (a flavor component in tonic water) could be used to treat malaria. The taste was not liked by many.

British officers in India began to add water, sugar, lime and gin into their tonic water in the 1800’s. Thus, a gin-and-tonic was born. Tonic water can’t be used to treat malaria, but it is sweeter and contains less quinine. The gin component of this cocktail is made with juniper berries. It was originally sold in 17th-century Holland as a remedy for stomach problems, such as gallstones, gout, and stomach issues.

Gin and tonic was a British favorite drink that became well-known. It would also become a very popular cultural staple. The James Bond movie Dr. No was one of the most prominent references to this drink. Bond speaks about a Jamaican drink where you would add a whole lime to the drink, which makes it tart and refreshing.
