Ever wondered how a bitter bark from the South American wilderness became a staple in your favorite cocktail? Uncover the incredible saga of tonic water in this episode of Alcohology as Siobhan and Matt take you on a journey from the depths of the Amazon to British colonial life. Hear about the cinchona tree's miraculous medicinal properties, the role of quinine in combating malaria, and how this led to the creation of tonic water. You'll also learn about its transformation from a life-saving remedy to a fizzy mixer that’s now a must-have in cocktail culture. Join us for a sparkling conversation, rich with history, science, and a dash of humor.
