Gin Control

I'm very tempted to make a parody called Gin Control talking about the quality control measures to be followed in the production of gin. But since I don't know much about it I wouldn't be able to sustain it past the thread title.

So I'm posting here instead.

Speaking of gin (yeah, I know I'm the one who brought it up), what's the tonic in a gin and tonic? I've always wondered but never been curious enough to try. We use tonic to describe medicinal syrups so I've also been repulsed by the idea of it.


Carry on.

"Tonic water (or Indian tonic water) is a carbonated soft drink, in which quinine is dissolved. Originally used as a prophylactic against malaria, tonic water usually now has a significantly lower quinine content and is consumed for its distinctive bitter flavour. It is often used in mixed drinks, particularly in gin and tonic."

Oh... And since this is a porn forum, "clitoris"

Carbonated sugar water flavored with quinine, pretty much. While quinine can reduce fever and work as a painkiller among other things, there's not enough of it there to have any real medicinal value anymore.

But still tastes like arse.
 
thank you. Both descriptions sound a lot (not sure about the quinine bit though) like what we call soda- something many people use to bring with their whisky. I used to think that either club soda or sparkling water.

it's a lot like soda but the flavour has a distinct dry, almost bitter kick... to be honest, i love drinking indian tonic water becauseit tastes (to me) like it has a healthy slosh of vodka in it already. maybe i've got weird taste buds :rolleyes:
