Depending on how strong you like your gin, you may prefer a 3:1 ratio of tonic to gin, but we like to taste the botanicals in our gin.

Fever Tree and Little Juniper Signature Gin are a match made in heaven; even though we often drink our gin with soda, Fever Tree Mediterranean or Elderflower bring out the full volume of the citrus and add to the flavour without taking over.

History of the Gin and Tonic Gin Cocktail

The Gin and Tonic originated in the 19th century when British soldiers in India began mixing gin with tonic water to make the bitter, quinine-rich drink—used to prevent malaria—more palatable. Quinine, extracted from the cinchona tree, gave tonic water its distinctive bitterness, and gin improved the taste, creating a refreshing and functional beverage. Over time, the G&T became a favourite among British ex-pats and spread overseas. By the 1950s, it evolved from a medicinal remedy into a globally popular cocktail, celebrated for its crisp and versatile flavour.
