Fever Tree is the only option for me. Unfortunately, most of our tonics in the US are chock-full of corn syrup... the main reason I like FT is that they don't use it. I always thought tonic was trash until I tried FT.

It also works well with the Botanist (and a little lime)

Fever Tree Mediterranean + Zeiver Gin = Perfection! Gunpowder Irish Gin + Q Tonic is also great.

Here in the US, I can always find Schweppes Tonic Water and have never seen or even heard of Fever Tree. Since I normally drink my Beefeaters straight with a twist of lime or with orange juice, I haven't really looked for tonic water outside of supermarkets and am happy with what I can find.

I bought some Fever Tree premium today. Very good as you would expect for £2 a small bottle. I worked out. it costs as much per drink as the Plymouth Gin I bought!

Here in Cornwall we drink a lot of gin mixed with cider. Especially pink gin and a good dry apple cider with a squeeze of lemon or simple syrup and lots of ice . We also have “ normal straight gin” with a fruit cider. Give it a try.

Aviation and Fever Tree Elderflower is a match made in heaven. A twist of lime and I'm transported to the pearly gates!

I just started drinking gin a couple months ago and it’s changed my whole life. Actually found an alcohol that I actually enjoy drinking. Not just to get drunk. Glad I found you because I’ve discovered there’s a Fever-Tree for every gin. I didn’t like gunpowder gin until I tried it with the elderflower. Probably cuz the heavy herbal and floral notes. Tried Beefeater with the ginger ale today and was blown away. Wondering if you’ve tried the ginger beer and what you thought?

Fever Tree ginger beer is absolutely amazing in gin. Specially Roku gin are very good with fever tree ginger beer.

Great info, love Roku. I drink the local Bundaberg ginger beer that's brewed in the bottle, great taste. Never thought of trying this in gin, cheers for that.

Interesting im going to try elderflower

Having an Aviation Gin and Elderflower tonic right now (Fever Tree, of course). A slice of lime and it's, I guess the English would say, "absolutely brilliant!" haha. The Mediterranean and Elderflower and definitely my two "go to" tonics if I can find them and want to spend the extra $$. Never cared for their Indian tonic though. Side note, I've heard it pronounced and pronounce it myself as "q-why-nine". Then again I know pronunciation is vastly different with things on the other side of the Pond over there.

I do a vodka Country Time lemonade then did a 2/3 lemonade and a 1/3 pink. I need to find a quinine powder to add in my mix. I like the vodka, water and a powder mix of the sweet lemonade with a little adult mixed in, of course add ice, for this summer. Maybe I should try the Juniper Gin. It is highly flammable bush in its own right. Thanks for the video.

Eric Cioffi Thanks Eric, yes, Fever Tree actually got in touch afterwards to tell me this! 😂

I've always used the cheapest bottle of tonic, whatever was the store brand for around 75 cents to a dollar, but I picked up my first bottle of Fever Tree to try. However, I'm curious if I'll even notice a difference, as I definitely don't have a sophisticated palate. I didn't notice any difference at all between Tanqueray 10 and regular Tanq, except T10 is a lot more expensive. I don't pick up on subtle differences, so it all tastes pretty much the same to me. The benefit of course, I can save money with cheaper gin; but I am looking to try out some other (reasonably priced) gins.

I usually use Scheppes Lemon with my Gin, call me a heretic if you must but that is my go to mixer when it comes to gin.

Have you tried East Imperial yet? I have been alternating both for a few weeks now and can't make my mind up.

I'll definitely have to give the Mediterranean and Elderflower tonics a try! I'm not a huge fan of that quinine taste. What's your opinion of just using soda/seltzer water instead of tonic?

Hey Barry, Personally I’m not a fan but I know some people do like it. My advice would be to poor it quite strong as the sod water is such a neutral taste. Look out for my ‘Gin For Gin Haters’ video coming next week where I talk suggest different mixers 😊👍

It's probably my favourite tonic water. Admittedly, it's a premium product and the price does reflect that - but you pay for the quality of it. Scweppes isn't bad, but it isn't up to Fever Tree's level and also doesn't have quite range of varieties available. I have wondered what Fentiman's are like?

I tried Fever Tree, it was pretty nice. As a straight Tonic fan I'm glad to see this and await your future Tonic brands suggestion and review! My first tonic water was some random Korean tonic, and I instantly loved the quinine flavor. Bargain Walmart Tonic was kind of good, but I'd love to find some top quality Tonic.

I thought it was super nice and pleasantly bitter and very similar to Fever Tree. Made in France and probably half the cost. Also made with sugar unlike fructose and corn syrup that everyone else is putting (including Schweppes in the US.)

Those sweeteners are MUCH worse than sugar itself! Good video!

I love Fevertree but the Elderflower is disgusting...and "quinine" is pronounced with long I's.

There is a new cucumber one.... prob can try that.

I'm with Steve The Barman on this one. Fever tree is rough with too much quinine that dominates good gin rather than complementing it. Stick with middle of the road slightly sweeter tonics that make a much better balanced GNT. Hard to beat good old Schweppes.
