About tonic

It all started with the mosquito!

The British empire was expanding in all directions when they made a discovery. A tiny little insect carried a nasty little bug. Malaria. Quinine was put into use as a treatment for the disease. Quinine was extracted from the Bark of the Cinchona Tree and made into a tea. There was one problem tho, the tea was so bitter that it was hard to get anyone to drink it.

In an effort to make it more palatable, a tonic was developed that added a sweet side. Now if you really want someone to take a medicine, add Gin. Hello classic. the Gin and Tonic is born.

Our Take on Tonic

Most classic drinks have three components. You have a Sweet, Tart, and Bitter in varying levels. We wanted to craft the best drink mixer with incredible versatility. Our basic directions call for 1 ounce of Voodoo Tonic per drink. The character of that drink will change depending on how much you use. There is a tipping point at about 1 ounce. if you use less, the taste becomes more bitter. If you use more, you'll notice the bitter fade as the sweetness enters the picture. We have created elixirs that combine herbs and botanicals in a way to be versatile and capture the classic components.
