3 GIN FACTS YOU DON T KNOW HOLLAND MADE IT FIRST While gin may be the national spirit of England, the liquor originated in Holland. The English discovered genever while fighting the Dutch War of Independence in the 17th century and brought the spirit back with them. The London-style gin we re familiar with now would be born 150 years later. GIN & TONICS BEGAN IN INDIA During the 19th century, Brits began to move to India after the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857 and, subsequently, the popularity of Gin & Tonics spiked. In efforts to avoid malaria, the demand for Indian Tonic Water grew, due to the fact that it contained quinine, which had anti-malarial properties. Gin was added to the tonic water to soothe the bitter taste. THE GIMLET WAS BORN TO STOP SCURVY In the old days, sailing the open seas was not just for relaxing vacations. The threat of death by disease was prominent. The Royal Navy mixed gin with lime juice to prevent scurvy, the lack of vitamin C. This drink would soon be known as the Gimlet. Thank you, Royal Navy, thank you. G & T: Ice, Gin & Tonic Gimlet: Ice, Gin, Lime, Rose s Lime Juice Cordial
