Quinquina
In France, Quinquina is a collective name for alcoholic bitters (aperitif) having quinine as one of their main ingredients. Quinquina is also known as Peruvian Bark.
It originates from South America. It was introduced to Europe in the 17th century by Spanish missionaries.
One of the most popular and widely known quinquinas is Lillet Blanc; before 1986, when the recipe was modified to make it lighter and less bitter, it was sold as Kina Lillet.
