How to Make a Gin and Tonic

The Gin and Tonic is a simple yet sophisticated cocktail made by mixing dry gin with tonic water. It balances the botanical and spicy notes of gin with the slight bitterness and refreshing effervescence of tonic water, delivering a clean, complex flavor.

With an alcohol content of around 12–14%, it’s easy to enjoy and quick to prepare by simply pouring over ice. The drink originated during the British colonial era in the 19th century as a way to make quinine-rich tonic water more palatable for malaria prevention.

Perfect for hot days or whenever you need a crisp, stylish refreshment.
