History Timeline Background

Origins of the G&T

The history of the gin and tonic cocktail is closely linked to modern British history. It is a product of soldiers stationed in India who mixed their medicinal dose of quinine water to ward off malaria with their daily ration of gin. Fast forward to the present day, the gin & tonic is more popular than ever, with £2.6 billion worth of gin sales in the UK in 2019, according to the WSTA.
