[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For this guy, a gin and tonic can be hard to top depending on the occasion. Pretty perfect if you’re in London, or somewhere tropical and hot, and enjoying a good time with good company. Whereas if you’re with those same friend but in some place cozy in the middle of winter, then you might like an old fashioned.  Now you couldn’t pay me to drink a martini - but I’m happily married to someone who loves them, and the drier and dirtier the better.  Regardless, I can’t see looking down my nose at anyone who’s enjoying a cocktail, especially one that’s been around since the 1800s and was invented to fight malaria. Find someone or something else to judge.[/quote]

Gin originated as a medicinal liquor made by monks across Europe. Modern gin came from the Netherlands and became popular in England after French brandy was restricted in 1688. The gin crazy took off and by 1743 2.2 gallons of gin per person. It end up being a poor person’s drink and blamed for all the ills of society.

Gin and tonic was a 19th-century British colonial India thing. Soldiers added gin to quinine-based tonic water to prevent malaria. [/quote]
