Fun Fact

Here's a fun little fact about the classic Gin and Tonic: Did you know that this iconic drink actually started as a medicinal tonic? Back in the 18th century, British officers in India started adding gin to their quinine tonic water to combat malaria. The quinine was bitter, so they jazzed it up with a splash of gin, some sugar, and lime, unknowingly creating a future bar staple. So, next time you're sipping a G&T, you can toast to good health and great history! 🍸🌿

So, to all my mixology buddies out there, this is your new secret weapon. Use cocktail ice cubes to keep your drinks strong and tasty.
