The Story Behind the Vodka And Tonic
The Vodka and Tonic traces its roots back to the early 19th century when tonic water was first introduced as a way to combat malaria in tropical regions. British officers in India began mixing it with their daily gin rations, but vodka soon became a popular alternative for those seeking a smoother, less botanical flavor. This cocktail has since become a staple in bars worldwide, celebrated for its simplicity and refreshing taste.
