Makar Gin

Makar Original G&T

A classic, with a spicy twist

Glasgow's original G&T recipe using Glasgow's Original Gin. The humble G&T's origins can be found in the early 19th century when the army of the British East India Company were prescribed quinine (a medcine) mixed in tonic water to help them with their fight against malaria. The bitter taste of the tonic water was undesirable so the soldiers added water, sugar, lime and gin to the tonic and thus the G&T came into being. This origin story is also the reason why many tonic waters are known as 'Indian Tonic Water'.
