Vodka Tonic
History & Lore
The Vodka Tonic is a simple yet refreshing cocktail that has become a modern classic. While its exact origins remain unclear, the drink likely emerged in the early 20th century, when tonic water began to be widely consumed. Tonic water, originally used as a medicinal remedy for malaria due to its quinine content, was often mixed with gin to create the beloved Gin and Tonic. The substitution of vodka for gin in this cocktail reflects the popularity of vodka in the mid-20th century, particularly in the United States and Europe. The Vodka Tonic became a staple at bars and parties due to its crisp, clean taste and versatility, often served as a light, low-calorie drink perfect for any occasion.
