JUST THE TONIC
The gin & tonic dates back to the days of the British Empire in India. After a long hot day, British officers would look forward to the cooler hours after sunset. Unfortunately, sunset is when malaria-carrying mosquitoes are at their most troublesome.The British had discovered that quinine was useful in combating malaria. Gin took away the foul taste of the quinine, and so the two were drunk together as the sun went down. The gin & tonic was born.
BARWARE
Highball glass
Pink Gin
Sailors used to mix Gordon's with daily doses of Angostura bitters (taken to prevent stomach upsets) and gave birth to the classic Navy drink, the Pink Gin! A classic variation of the G&T you can try at home.
