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 produced 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. To make it taste better, sugar, lime, and gin were added to the quinine later.
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. Many people around the world also love the refreshing drink.
