THE SILENT POOL G&T
Posted by Silent Pool Distillers on 18th November 2021
We won A gold medal for our G and T made with Fever Tree Tonic.
The G and T has existed for centuries. In the 1700s it was discovered quinine could be used to prevent and treat malaria, this 'tonic' was popular amongst soldiers around the world.
The bitter taste was unpleasant to most. Our soldiers were already given rations of gin, adding gin created a much more palatable drink thus the gin and tonic was born.
