Tonic
water or Indian tonic water is a carbonated soft drink
containing quinine that tastes a bit bitter. This soda-flavored beverage was
originally made to treat malaria.
Tonic water is mainly used
as a cocktail mixer, especially gin and tonic. Manufacturers of soft drinks
also make sweetened tonic water and a little lemon perisa. Tonic water brands
such as Schweppes, Canada Dry, and Q Tonic.
This drink is called tonic
water because it contains quinine that is prophylactic against malaria. Tonic
water used to contain quinine in large quantities so it tastes bitter.
Cocktails of a mixture of gin and tonics were created by the British East India
Company's army so that bitter bitter water could still be drunk.
