Breuklyn Tonic LLC

Created in 2014 by Charmaine Koskinen, Breuklyn Tonic LLC aims to bring ancient recipes to the modern palate. The Breuklyn in our company name is a homage to the olde spelling of Brooklyn, where our journey began.

Charmaine completed her Ph.D. at Cambridge (the English one), and moved to Brooklyn (the American one), where she conducted research into the trade of cinchona bark (which is more interesting than you might expect; read more about it here). She unearthed some historical cures for malaria and thought she’d try them out. The tonic syrups she created were an instant hit with her friends and family, and so she embarked on a journey to share the joy.
