HISTORY

For a few years now, gin and tonic has gained popularity in a surprising way. In a short time we have seen how the new tonics and gins have multiplied in the market to please an increasingly exquisite consumer. But despite this new youth, the history of gin and tonic goes back a long time ago. According to the story, more legend than history, everything began in Peru in 1632. The Countess of Chinchón, wife of Luis Jerónimo de Cabrera -Virrey of Peru-, became ill with malaria and in the court they managed to save her life thanks to the bark of cinchona, thus becoming the first European to overcome the disease This new drug in the form of quinine pills, began to be sent to the different European colonies in Africa and Asia, focusing on the tropics, where malaria was causing the greatest havoc. The daily dose of quinine soon became a martyrdom among those who were forced to take it, because of its extremely bitter taste. Around 1825, officials from India, still a British colony at that time, found a way to make their daily doses somewhat more pleasant. They began to dissolve the quinine tablets in water, adding lime juice, sugar and gin, thus inventing the precursor of the popular gin and tonic.
