]]> As summer approaches, many of us will start ordering gin and tonics or making them at home. This cocktail is a perfect choice for outdoor, warm-weather sipping and is so simple to make. While it’s a favorite these days, did you know that gin and tonic has a fascinating origin story that spans centuries back and travels across continents?

Out of Neccesity

From the 17th to the 19th centuries, the British East India Company colonized and controlled trade in the Indian Subcontinent. Their army, tasked with defending their control of the region, struggled with the harsh conditions in this tropical region, including the disease of malaria.

After research in the 18th century by British doctors showed that quinine, a chemical compound obtained from the bark of the cinchona tree, which is present in the region, could be an effective compound in curing this disease.

The Perfect Balance

Quinine was added to water, creating what we now know as “tonic water,” one of the two main ingredients in gin and tonics. However, its bitter taste was unpalatable by itself, so the soldiers began to mix sugar into the water, along with gin, lemon, and lime with it to make a tastier drink that they fell in love with.

Not only were gin and tonics delicious, but they also helped keep these soldiers alive and free of complications from a deadly tropical disease.

Think about this the next time you’re enjoying this classic cocktail!

]]> Have you ever tried a gin and tonic float? This drink is next level, especially for hot summer days.

Ingredients

The ingredients you need are:
50 ml gin
15 g granulated sugar
500 ml whole milk
300 ml double cream
3 large egg yolks

Instructions

Get a saucepan and mix the milk, sugar, and cream in it. Set the temperature to low and wait for the liquid to boil.

Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Start adding the milk mixture very slowly in the egg yolks while also stirring at the same time. Wait for the mix to cool down completely, then add it to the saucepan.

Heat it until it reaches 185 F degrees. Continue stirring for 5 more minutes from this point.

Once it is cold, you can add 50 ml gin. Get a plastic tub, fill it with the mix and put it in the freezer.

Wait for an hour and shake it. Place it in the freezer for 45 minutes more.

Get a glass and fill it with one scoop of the frozen ice-cream mix. Top it off with 20 ml gin. Finish off with tonic water — and your gin and tonic float is done.

Blueberry and Sage

These two flavors go together so well, and gin is the finishing touch that this duo needs. To make this cocktail, first, make a blueberry juice by boiling water and blueberries together with some sugar. Mash them or use an immersion blender to puree them, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Add a simple syrup infused with sage, lemon juice, and gin.

Gin and Soda

Instead of sweet tonic, switch your drink to soda water. This will not only hydrate you more, it is much more refreshing. Add lime juice, cucumber, mint, and gin, and stir. Pour over ice and enjoy.

Strawberry and Ginger

Ginger beer or good ginger ale make both for a great base for gin. The slightly spicy quality of the ginger really compliments the gin. Add in some extra fresh ginger, fresh strawberries or strawberry preserves, and top with any fresh herbs you have on hand.
