Bourin Quinquina Aperitif Poster (1936)

Jacques and Pierre Bellenger designed this original vintage poster in 1936. This clever image shows that Bourin Quinquina is the perfect versatile beverage that can be enjoyed as an aperitif, while dining, and as an digestif. Hang it white-side-up or yellow-side-up (or even horizontally!).

Quinine based drinks such as Quinquina Bourin became popular as a result of France's military skirmishes in North Africa at the turn of the century. Quinine combats malaria but tastes very bitter, so beverages were made that combined its bitterness with other flavors. The popularity of these bitter-laced cocktails outlasted any medical reason, and bitters such as Dubonnet are still popular today.
