Tasting notes
Pour into a chilled highball glass over large ice cubes. The effervescence is lively and enduring that classic . On the palate the tonic starts crisp and fresh, with clean carbonation, followed by a soft citrus-hint and then the characteristic quinine bitterness. The finish is dry, leaving the mouth refreshed and ready for another sip or another spirit. When paired with a botanically rich gin, the tonic plays the role of both companion and contrast sharpening the spirit while adding its own layered fizz and bite.
Usage & mixology suggestions
As a mixer: Combine with a premium London dry gin (50 ml)of Schweppes Tonic, garnish with a thin lime wheel or grapefruit twist.
As a standalone: Serve chilled at 4-6 °C, pour slowly to retain bubbles, garnish with a lemon wedge a crisp and satisfying non-alcoholic alternative.
