KO Classic Tonic Can 200ml
Pop the can, hear that tight little hiss, and your gin just got a serious glow-up. This is the tonic that fights back. Crystal clear, fizzy, with a proper bitter quinine kick that makes a cheap mixer taste like sugary lemonade. Pour it over ice with a good gin and you've basically got a bar drink at home, no bartender required. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
First thing you notice is the bubbles. Fine, persistent, the kind that prickle rather than froth and fade. Then a clean lift of citrus, sort of zesty and bright, before the quinine rolls in with that distinctly grown-up bitter, almost medicinal edge. There's a faint earthiness underneath, just enough sweetness to keep it civil. It finishes dry and a little tingly, which is exactly why it makes gin sing instead of drowning it. Not sweet, not flat, not boring.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is Kenyan Originals, the Nairobi crew who've been making seriously good local drinks since 2018, from craft ciders to their award-winning KO Classic Gin. Everything happens in-house at their big Nairobi facility, real fruit, real botanicals, made here not shipped in. The clever bit is the quinine: it's natural, sourced from cinchona trees in the DRC, the region that grows most of the world's quinine. That's where the real bitter character comes from, and it's part of why this drinks like a tonic with an actual point of view.
Good to know
- What is the price of KO Classic Tonic Can 200ml?
KO Classic Tonic Can 200ml is KSh 160 at Oaks & Corks. Order online for delivery in 30 minutes for most areas in Nairobi, or next day countrywide.
- What does Kenyan Originals Classic Tonic 200ml taste like?
Crystal clear and fizzy with fine, persistent bubbles, a clean citrusy lift, and a distinct bitter quinine bite. There's a touch of earthiness and just a little sweetness, finishing dry. It's a proper grown-up tonic, not a sugary soda.
- What is the ABV of Kenyan Originals Classic Tonic?
Zero. This is a non-alcoholic mixer with no ABV. The alcohol comes from whatever gin or vodka you pour with it.
- How do I serve it?
Ice cold over plenty of ice, in a highball or balloon glass. Add a measure of gin, top with the full can in one pour to keep the fizz, and finish with lime. It's also great on its own over ice.
- What does it pair with?
Best mate is a good gin, especially KO Classic Gin, or any premium gin or vodka. Food-wise think nyama choma, grilled prawns, salty bar snacks or a citrusy salad.
- Is it healthier than other tonics?
It's made with natural quinine and real ingredients, and carries roughly a third of the sugar of Schweppes. So it's lighter on sugar, but it's still a tonic, not a health drink.
- Why a 200ml can?
It's the ideal single-serve size for one drink. You use the whole can in one pour, so the bubbles stay tight and you never end up with a flat, half-finished bottle.
