Gin Tonic Welcome back to "Cocktails," the podcast that uncorks the fascinating stories and serves up the detailed recipes of your favorite drinks. Today, we're sipping on the quintessential classic, the Gin Tonic. The Gin Tonic, or Gin & Tonic, is more than just a cocktail; it's a piece of history. Its origins are rooted in the British colonial era, where British officers in India took to adding gin to their medicinal tonic water, which contained quinine, an effective anti-malarial compound. The addition of gin helped mask the tonic's bitter taste, and lime was added to combat scurvy. The drink quickly became a staple in tropical postings and eventually made its way into the cocktail lexicon worldwide.
