To retain the precious gas in the carbonated water a new, stronger bottle was developed with a very special oval design. The bottle was kept on its side, so keeping the cork saturated and expanded to retain the bubbles longer. Because of it’s inability to stand up on it’s own, it became known as the drunken bottle.
To protect themselves from malaria, British colonists in India were advised to drink quinine.
To get rid of the bitter taste they mixed it with sugar, orange peel and water. In 1871, Schweppe took
that idea further and marketed Schweppes Indian Tonic – the first carbonated tonic.
A Dutch physician invented an alcoholic beverage based on juniper berries.
It was called jevener and became wildly popular when William of Orange occupied the English throne.
A new beverage called gin was created with a slightly different recipe.
It was just a matter of time before the British starting mixing gin with their favourite tonics.
The bitter aromas of tonic were the perfect match for the aromatic character of gin.
Thus, the Gin & Tonic was born. Soon country clubs in the US started serving this classic British drink.
In the early 2000s, the Gin & Tonic became extremely popular in Spain. Carefully poured in an
iced copa with the right garnish as a finishing touch, the Gin & Tonic reached new heights.
It became a beautiful complex drink combining sweets, sours and bitters. Instead of offering justone Gin & Tonic, Spanish bars developed entire menus devoted to the Gin & Tonic.
To enhance the characteristics of different types of gin, Schweppes worked closely with mixologists
