Gin and tonic is one of the most common mixes, but why?
The drink has its roots in the 19th century when the English fleet crossed the ocean towards India for spices and exotic fruits. Because of the lack of vitamins during the long journey, the crew of the ship often contracted scabies. When the ships finally arrived, a second problem arose: malaria, spread by the mosquitos in India. It seemed though that the juniper in the gin is good against scabies while the quinine in the tonic counters the malaria virus.
So next to being a tasty drink, the gin and tonic is also a life saver. A true hero!
We will be making an alcohol-free version of this hero using Stryyk Not Gin. An alcohol-free gin based on sage, juniper, basil and cilantro seeds.
London based Stryyk also launched a Not Rum and Not Vodka. Check out our Stryyk page for more information.

Hey there just wanted to give you a brief heads up
and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried
it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
Hi!
Thanks for the heads up! We are working with a developer to get this problem solved.
Kind regards, Team Lowno
