Erasmus Bond Tonic & Ginger

ton_era

The active ingredients in quinine had been known for some time and many British officials had been taking quinine mixed with water and sugar as a preventative measure against tropical diseases when Erasmus Bond invented the first tonic water in 1858. This marked the beginning of the transformation of tonic from a medicine to prevent fever and malaria to a thirst quencher.

The emergence of premium spirits also increased the demand for high-quality mixers. As a different tonic is recommended for each spirit, Erasmus Bond offers three different tonic waters, each with its own distinctive aroma and flavour. Then there is “Erasmus Bond Dry Ginger”, ideal for making ginger-based mixed drinks.
