Legend has it that in the early 1800s, amidst the blistering heat of colonial India, a rather inventive British military chemist found himself in desperate need of a cure for both malaria and monotony.
Quinine, while effective, tasted appalling. Enter an elusive botanist famed (in certain circles) for his encyclopaedic knowledge of native Indian botanicals and an experimental streak as long as the monsoon season. Together, they began to blend science with nature, infusing quinine with lemongrass, citrus peels, fragrant roots, and just a hint of brilliance.
While we can’t say with absolute certainty how much of this tale is true, the spirit of it lives on. Every can of British Tonic Water pays homage to curious minds and bold flavour. With pure British spring water, authentic quinine, and hand-picked botanicals — our tonic is crisp, balanced, and proudly British.
