The creator of q drinks non-alcoholic carbonated mixer, tonic water spent years making a spectacular tonic water. He started in his kitchen with real quinine, just like when tonic water was invented back in 1825. Then he lightly sweetened it with agave nectar rather than loads of high fructose corn syrup, so it complements rather than masks the subtleties of a good gin, vodka or rum. Clean and crisp, with many fewer calories than the big guys, the carbonated version of q drinks tonic water is a perfect match for great spirits. See nutrition facts panel for allergens.
