The Aperitifs with quinine

Pharmacists, bistros, and almost everyone or anyone else involved in this business set to work and created the first quinine apérififs.

Upon returning to their homeland, those soldiers who had already adapted their palate for the bitter aperitifs continued to take their nectar with quinine daily.

Quinine is present in Dubonnet, Lillet e Byrrh,  aperitifs, among other aperitifs.
