The gin and tonic are a simple cocktail. It's particularly popular in the United Kingdom. When the British East India Company ruled India, the drink was introduced in India. In India, Scottish doctor George Cleghorn used quinine to treat malaria.. Quinine is a flavor component of tonic water.. The quinine had a bitter taste... Sugar, lime, and gin were eventually added to the quinine to make it taste better.

Today's Tonic water is made with much less quinine. It is no longer used to treat malaria. The drink is one of the most popular British cocktails. The drink is a fruity British drink. Many people around the world also love the refreshing drink.
