About this Recipe
By: Complete Food Company
Gin & Tonic is a classic cocktail that originated in colonial India as a way to make quinine (used to treat malaria) more palatable. Quinine was mixed with soda water, sugar, lime, and of course, gin to create a refreshing and tonic beverage. Today, the recipe has evolved, and the modern version typically includes tonic water, gin, and a wedge of lime.
Ingredients
- 50 ml gin
- 150 ml tonic water
- ice
- lime slices
Gin is a clear spirit made from juniper berries and other botanicals, such as coriander, angelica root, and citrus peels. It is a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed on its own, but it’s also a popular base for cocktails.
Tonic water is a carbonated beverage that contains quinine, giving it a distinct bitter taste. It is typically sweetened with sugar and flavored with citrus and other botanicals. Tonic water is an essential ingredient in a Gin & Tonic, as it gives the cocktail its characteristic bitterness and sweetness.
