Q Tonic

So I probably will never drink Schweppes again. I've been skeptical about these designer tonics and the trend for "craft mixologists" (formerly known as bartenders) to create their own tonic, but I have to say Q Tonic does make a much better gin and tonic.

They say it has real quinine instead of artificial flavor, agave sweetener instead of high fructose corn syrup (thus fewer calories and much lower glycemic rating), water distilled three times and more carbonation. It does taste lighter, crisper and more flavorful, a better complement to the complexity of the gin. So much better that it's worth the big premium in price (4 bottles for $7.50 instead of Schweppes 6 bottles for whatever).

Will have to try it with rum and vodka. And who knows, it's so good maybe experiment with tequila and tonic or other mixes.
