Indian Tonic

Friday evening is G&T time, and a good tonic is paramount. Our Naturfrisk Indian Tonic is a great choice. It is dry with the bitter, tart taste of quassia and citrus fruits, and works well in most cocktails.

Did you know that it was actually the British who ‘invented’ Indian Tonic? The British soldiers deployed in India during the colonial era needed to ingest large amounts of quinine. This was to combat malaria. It was the only known anti-malaria remedy at the time. But in its pure form quinine is rather bitter, so they came up with the idea of mixing it with water and sugar, and then adding carbonic acid. That made it easier to take. Basically, they had invented what was to become ‘Indian Tonic’.

Motif 25 cl: Naturfrisk Indian Tonic features the motif of a viviparous lizard (Lacerta vivipara). It can grow to a length of 18 cm, with the hale constituting more than half the length. Most of us know that the viviparous lizard sheds its tail when it is startled or under attack. When this happens, the tail wriggles, thereby detracting attention from the lizard itself, so it can escape to safety.
