Tonic water - quinine beverage

Tonic water is a carbonated non-alcoholic beverage with a characteristic bitter taste derived from quinine, a substance from cinchona bark. It originally served as a malaria remedy in the tropical colonies of the British Empire.

Today it is best known as part of the gin and tonic cocktail and is used primarily as a mixer for gin and other spirits.

Modern tonics contain significantly less quinine than the original versions and come in many varieties, from classic to citrus and floral premium lines.
