I've found that I prefer tonic water and lime over every NA beer I've tried so far (which all have an overpoweringly dull bitter aftertaste). Currently looking for a less sugary tonic water and considering quinine or tonic syrup.
- derbOac 5y agoYou should try tonic syrups. I love them as you can adjust the water:syrup ratio to your taste, and mix and match syrups and waters. My impression (correct or not) is also that there's more tonic syrups out there than bottled tonic water, so a lot of choice (at least last time I looked). Finally, the syrup concentrates take up a lot less space in the refrigerator. The only tricky part for me was figuring out what ratio of water:syrup to go with for any given brand, but that isn't too difficult. I've thought about making my own syrup, as I'm a lifelong tonic water fan, and make a lot of other things myself, but haven't wanted to mess with it. There's relatively dry tonics on the market now too, but nothing will get you to quite the same place as the syrups.
- itronitron 5y agoThanks, if you have any recommendations on tonic syrups or bitters to try out I'm interested to hear them.
- derbOac 5y agoI liked this site: https://www.onlybitters.com/tonics/ https://www.onlybitters.com/tonics/ I'm probably not the best person to ask for favorites as I tend to like almost all the tonic waters and syrups I've tried (except for diet ones).
