Pro Tip

Usage

Used as a mixer to lengthen drinks while adding bitterness and effervescence. Most commonly paired with gin but versatile across multiple spirit styles.

Top Tips

  • Match the tonic to the spirit — bitterness levels vary widely.
  • Serve well chilled to keep bitterness clean and crisp.
  • Pour gently to preserve carbonation.

Possible Substitutions

  • Soda water (no bitterness)
  • Bitter lemon
  • Light tonic (less sweet, less bitter)

Production Method

Produced by carbonating water and blending with quinine, citrus flavourings, sweeteners, and acids, then bottled under pressure.

History & Context
