One of the world's most popular cocktails originated from flea repellent and malaria medication. This short but thoroughly-researched history of the Gin & Tonic begins in 1630 in Peru and ends in today's America, with detours along the way to include the invention of artificial carbonation, the discovery of the color mauve, the launching of cats from airplanes, the history of ice cubes, the problem with summer papal conclaves, the work history of Ginger Rogers' great-great-great grandfather, and much more.
