Quinine also absorbs UV light and will fluoresce under a UV light, its so sensitive you can see it fluoresce even in direct sunlight.
The one on the left with the cool blue tinge is the Indian Tonic water. The one on the right is plain water for comparison. Both have ice because I've been out gardening and I'm not going to drink warm tonic water for the sake of demonstrating fluorescence.

Lordy. I wish I didn't love tonic water so very much
Its good for ya! :-)
I honestly don't know that I've ever had any tonic water ever. If I'd known it came in a freaky blue colour I would have, surely.
Its the gin that fixes the maleria the tonic is just there to make the glass look pretty -from the expert!!!!
