  Hello, elder

  • 

  Thomas Henry Dry Tonic

  A tart twist and bitterness are characteristic of this tonic and dominate the flavour. Unfortunately, not many other aspects come through.

  Quite sweet, okay

  • 

  Thomas Henry Tonic Water

  The tonic doesn't work all that well with the gin. Lots of sweetness, with no real highlights brought out.

  Balanced, but sweet

  • 

  Schweppes Indian Tonic Water

  Even with this classic, there's a little too much sweetness. But you can taste the fruitiness and the herbs.

  Here come the herbs

  • 

  Thomas Henry Botanical Tonic

  Quite sweet, but the herbal notes are very clear. With plenty of ice, it can work.

  Rounded and sweet

  • 

  Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water

  This tonic is often too dominant, but here it can pick up almost every facet of the gin. With plenty of ice, it shouldn't be too sweet either.

  Too much cucumber

  • 

  Doctor Polidori Cucumber Tonic Water

  It often works brilliantly, but here it doesn't help in any direction.

  A pretty good match

  • 

  Doctor Polidori Dry Tonic Water

  The tonic certainly carries the gin's different aspects. If you'd like to keep those shifts in the gin's character, this is an option for your G&T.

  Rather dull

  • 

  Schweppes Dry Tonic Water

  You can do this, but apart from a dry character, the mix doesn't bring much to the glass. The herbal note is there, though, as is the tonic's bitterness.
