Questions about Tonic water
What is tonic water made from?
Tonic water is carbonated water flavoured with quinine, which gives it a distinctive bitter taste, and usually sweetened with sugar or another sweetener. It was inspired by quinine-containing drinks, but modern tonic water is a soft drink, not a treatment for malaria.
How do you make a good gin and tonic?
Fill a large glass with plenty of ice, add one part gin and about three parts chilled tonic water, then stir gently so you keep the fizz. Finish with a lime wedge; a strip of grapefruit peel also works well with many gins.
Can you use tonic water in cooking?
You can use it in place of some of the liquid in a batter for fish or vegetables: its bubbles help make the coating light, while quinine adds a faint bitter note. Use it cold and cook the batter soon after mixing, before it loses its fizz.
What can you use instead of tonic water?
For a non-alcoholic drink with a similar bitter edge, try sparkling water with a splash of bitter lemon; it will taste more citrusy and usually sweeter. For a cocktail where the bitterness matters, soda water alone is not a close substitute, so add a little citrus peel or a bitter aperitif.
How is tonic water different from sparkling water?
Tonic water is sweetened and flavoured with quinine, while sparkling water is simply water with bubbles. Tonic water has 34 kcal per 100 g; sparkling water has 0 kcal per 100 g.
Does tonic water go flat after opening?
Yes. Seal the bottle tightly and refrigerate it after opening; it keeps its fizz best when used within a few days. Pour gently and avoid leaving it open on the table.
Is diet tonic water different from regular tonic water?
Diet tonic water is sweetened with non-sugar sweeteners instead of sugar, so it usually tastes less rounded and can have a lingering sweetener aftertaste. Both get their characteristic bitterness from quinine.
