A bottle of tonic water.
Quinine is the main ingredient in tonic water, which is used to mix many different alcoholic drinks. It is the flavor that gives tonic water that bitter taste. About half of the total amount of harvested quinine from the cinchona bark is used towards tonic water and quinine water. Because quinine is so bitter, tonic water contains somewhere between 100 to 300 parts per million quinine, or a maximum concentration of 70 mg of quinine per liter of tonic water.
