THE STORY OF LONDON'S QUININE GIN Origin and Background Quinine Gin, for GIN AND TONIC, is made basically with Gin and Imported Quinine. The only source of quinine is Cinchona Bark, which was first discovered in South America, by the Jesuit Fathers, and originally introduced in Europe as early as 1638. The combination of gin, quinine, and soda for GIN AND TONIC, very likely, was first devised by those British, Dutch and Americans living in the widespread tropical parts of the world, to mask the extremely bitter taste of the quinine. At the same time, much to their amazement and pleasant surprise, they dis- covered that this combination resulted in a most delightful drink that is tangy, cooling, and refreshing. This knowledge they brought home and now GIN AND TONIC, with its subtle flavor, cooling sensation and extreme pleasantness, became one of the most popu- lar warm weather drinks in this country. Until now, the only method used to make GIN AND TONIC was to combine regular gin with quinine water, a carbonated water specially prepared for the pur- pose. Now, however, GIN AND TONIC can be made in a more modern, lasting way by using LONDON'S QUI- NINE GIN, and any regular soda or even plain water. Quinine is a substance that will not dissolve readily in water, but is highly soluble in alcohol. It is this that makes LONDON'S QUININE GIN the modern, more desired way of preparing GIN AND TONIC, for the full flavor remains permanently in the gin until the last drop is consumed. With LONDON'S QUININE GIN, the field of new taste sensations is not limited to just GIN AND TONIC, but other fascinating drinks are possible, as: "Quinine Gin on the Rocks", "Quinine Gin Martini", and many more.
