Tonic water, traditionally flavored with quinine, sugar, or corn syrup, varies in quality among brands. Seagram's Tonic Water ranks last due to its unimpressive quinine flavor and high sugar content from high fructose corn syrup. It only comes in metal cans which can affect taste, and it is challenging to find in stores. A good tonic water should be easily accessible and offer a balance of bitterness, sweetness, and astringency, enhancing the flavors of the spirit it accompanies.
A good tonic water should have a trifecta balance of bitterness, sweetness, and astringency, while also being refreshing and complementary to the spirit it's paired with.
Seagram's Tonic Water, while not bad, is ranked last due to its one-dimensional quinine flavor and high fructose corn syrup content.
