Gin Time: Tonic Water Tasting

July 26th, 2010, by The Angry Drunk

In an effort to pep up my gin and ton­ics I’ve decided to sam­ple some “pre­mium” tonic waters. There’s really no point in shelling out for top – shelf hooch if you’re going to mix it with swill. Tonight was Fentiman’s Tonic Water (warn­ing, hideous web­site ahoy).

The ver­dict: A fuck-sight bet­ter than Canada Dry or Schweppes.

    I didn’t know Fentiman’s made tonic water — I’ll have to try to find some around here. My go-to brand has become Fever Tree.

    Fever Tree is next up in the sam­pler rotation.

    Don’t know if you’ve ever tried it, but to me, Gin (Tanqueray) and bit­ter lemon is a way bet­ter drink than a straight up G & T, even more so with just a splash of Rose’s in the glass before you pour. Try it — you won’t regret it.

    In fact, once, while tub­ing down the Delaware River with the afore­men­tioned drink in hand , I was able to trade the drink for a boat. And a pair of water skis. And the guy’s wife.

    Good stiff drink indeed.

    I haven’t tried it yet, but Q Tonic claims to have a wide dis­tri­b­u­tion of resellers, includ­ing your Scottsdale, AZ and my Toronto, ON. http://​qtonic​.com/​a​v​a​i​l​a​b​i​l​i​t​y​.​h​tml
