Tonic Water

Tonic Water is a carbonated mixer originally flavoured with quinine and commonly used in cocktails (notably with gin) or as a refreshing soft drink. It is known for its faintly bitter taste and bright, fizzy mouthfeel. Nutritionally, Tonic Water is a low‑energy beverage but contains a notable amount of free sugars — about 8.8g per 100g — so it contributes added sugar without providing protein, fiber or significant micronutrients. From a health perspective, it’s best enjoyed occasionally as a mixer rather than a daily drink: it offers little nutritional benefit and many commercial versions are highly processed, though sugar‑free varieties or plain sparkling water are simple lower‑calorie alternatives.
