Schweppes Indian Tonic Water contains quinine (43mg/L), which gives it the characteristic bitter flavour. Tonic water is the only mainstream soft drink with therapeutic history — quinine was the original anti-malarial drug and British officers in India mixed it with soda water and sugar for palatability, later adding gin. The quinine content in tonic water is around 43mg/L, far below the historical therapeutic dose of 500-1000mg per day.
