Makar Gin and Tonic

Glasgow's original G&T recipe using Glasgow's Original Gin. The humble G&T's
origins can be found in the early 19th century when the army of the British East
India Company were prescribed quinine (a medicine mixed in tonic water to help
them with their fight against malaria. The bitter taste of the tonic water was
unpleasant so the soldiers added water, sugar, lime and gin to the tonic and
thus the G&T came into being. This origin story is also the reason why many
tonic waters are known as 'Indian Tonic Water!
