Questions about Tonic water
What gives tonic water its bitter taste?
Quinine gives tonic water its characteristic bitterness. It was historically added to drinks as a source of quinine, and modern tonic water contains much less than medicinal preparations.
Is tonic water the same as soda water?
No. Soda water is carbonated water, while tonic water is sweetened and flavoured with quinine. Use soda water when you want fizz without tonic’s bitterness and sweetness.
What is the difference between tonic water and lemonade?
Tonic water has a bitter quinine flavour, while lemonade is usually lemon-flavoured and sweet-sour. Tonic water has 36 kcal per 100 g, compared with 22 kcal in lemonade.
What goes well with tonic water?
Its bitterness pairs especially well with gin, but it also works with vodka or as a non-alcoholic drink with lime, lemon or cucumber. Pour it over plenty of ice and add the garnish just before serving.
How do you make a gin and tonic?
Fill a large glass with ice, add one part gin and about three parts chilled tonic water, then stir gently. Finish with a lime wedge; adding tonic slowly helps keep its fizz.
Can you drink tonic water on its own?
Yes. Serve it well chilled over ice, with a slice of citrus if you like; its quinine bitterness makes it less like a plain sweet fizzy drink.
How should you store tonic water after opening?
Keep an opened bottle tightly closed in the fridge and use it within a few days for the best fizz. Store unopened bottles somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight.
Does tonic water contain sugar?
Regular tonic water is sweetened with sugar, with 8.9 g per 100 g. Sugar-free versions use sweeteners instead, so check the ingredients if you want to avoid sugar.
