This activity includes a 2-hour workshop, followed by a light lunch or dinner. For centuries the most effective remedy to fight malaria was ‘cinchona,’ a drink so bitter that during the 19th century in the British colonies it was “corrected” with gin, sugar and, subsequently, carbonated water: thus Gin & Tonic was born! This workshop takes you through the history and preparation of tonic water in order to mix a fresh and philological Gin & Tonic! Each participant will take home their own tonic.
