Gin and Tonic \u2013 an acquired taste?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no denying that gin and tonic is an odd sort of a\ndrink, the bitter taste of tonic can take a little getting used to, and when\nyou look at the origins of the classic \u2018gin and tonic\u2019 you can appreciate how\nit came about. Tonic water was commonly drunk by the British in India in the 19th<\/sup>\ncentury as it was thought to prevent malaria. Gin was added purely to make the\ntonic water taste less bitter. It seems the British decided this combination\nwas actually quite delicious, and so it continues to this day, never more\npopular than it is right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
