Fever Tree is the only option for me. Unfortunately, most of our tonics in the US are chock-full of corn syrup... the main reason I like FT is that they don't use it. I always thought tonic was trash until I tried FT.
It’s all about the Fever! 😊😊
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 A little late to the party but I tried a brand called Q. It was very bitter and I almost gagged drinking it. Tonight's G&T will be the first time trying FT tonic. The yellow one. I have high hopes after watching this!!
@@paulzacharopoulos511
Let me know what you think of it Paul! 👍😊
Fever Tree is my favorite as well. I’ve lately been really enjoying Fever Tree Ginger Beer with gin to make a London Mule.
JK Dude 77
You clearly have great taste!
I’ve just got some of the ginger beer so I’m looking forward to trying tonight 👍
Bro, I've been watching your videos all day and I gotta say my bartending career is going places with these videos. Thank you so much for making this channel and keep on doing what you do. I wish you a huge fan base in the near future. Love the energy and enthusiasm.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I’m just one guy making videos alone in my kitchen so it is so nice to hear when people are enjoying my videos. Glad to have you aboard my friend! 😊😊👍👍
So appreciate the passion and the great reviews! Bloody great job
Thank you for doing this! ... I've always been confused regarding Fever Tree tonic
Your channel is exactly what I needed. Keep it up!
Too bad he skip way to much of the history in every video.
would be nice if you could do a tonic testing video... what's up with Thomas Henry, Schweppes etc.?
Thanks for turning me on to FT. Love your videos, your energy and positivity is really refreshing.
Thanks David! So glad you enjoy them 😊😊
FT's Elderflower paired really nicely with Aviation for a G&T.
It also works well with the Botanist (and a little lime)
Great information. Agree completely with your review, love fever tree though there is a Canada Dry artisanal tonic that came out recently that is quite nice using cane sugar and natural quinine.
Thanks Stephen, I’ll check it out 😊
I just tried the original Fever Tree in a Beefeater fueled gin and tonic and it was fantastic. Thanks for your fabulous recommendations!
You’re welcome John! 😊
Aviation and Fever Tree Elderflower is a match made in heaven. A twist of lime and I'm transported to the pearly gates!
Love their elder flower tonic
Fever Tree Mediterranean + Zeiver Gin = Perfection! Gunpowder Irish Gin + Q Tonic is also great.
I bought some Fever Tree premium today. Very good as you would expect for £2 a small bottle. I worked out. it costs as much per drink as the Plymouth Gin I bought!
7:50 I have the blue one in front of me, and it does say "refreshingly light" and is lighter in sugar compared to the gold label...but, it does have real sugar. the ingredients say fructose, which is real sugar. the nutrition label even says 14g of sugar per bottle. I haven't tried Schweppes in awhile but as I recall this is definitely better than Schweppes lol
Fever Tree ginger beer is absolutely amazing in gin. Specially Roku gin are very good with fever tree ginger beer.
Great info, love Roku. I drink the local Bundaberg ginger beer that's brewed in the bottle, great taste. Never thought of trying this in gin, cheers for that.
Here in the US, I can always find Schweppes Tonic Water and have never seen or even heard of Fever Tree. Since I normally drink my Beefeaters straight with a twist of lime or with orange juice, I haven't really looked for tonic water outside of supermarkets and am happy with what I can find.
Here in Cornwall we drink a lot of gin mixed with cider. Especially pink gin and a good dry apple cider with a squeeze of lemon or simple syrup and lots of ice . We also have “ normal straight gin” with a fruit cider. Give it a try.
Having an Aviation Gin and Elderflower tonic right now (Fever Tree, of course). A slice of lime and it's, I guess the English would say, "absolutely brilliant!" haha. The Mediterranean and Elderflower and definitely my two "go to" tonics if I can find them and want to spend the extra $$. Never cared for their Indian tonic though. Side note, I've heard it pronounced and pronounce it myself as "q-why-nine". Then again I know pronunciation is vastly different with things on the other side of the Pond over there.
I have found Fever Tree on Amazon and for a decent price
you should do one on other Tonics Fentimans, Schweppes dry ...
Mediterranean and Broker's gin, garnish with peeled grapefruit wedges. Magical.
You're lucky to find this tonic easely in every tesco in England ^^ Here in France, we have to find big groceries in the main cities, and even in these markets, they only have fever tree ginger ale / beer and regular tonic, no meditaranee, lemon etc.
Sorry for my english btw haha
Mat 4869
I’m surprised that they h ent made it to France yet? I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. Your English is excellent as always Mat! très bon! 😊👍
No Nonsense Gin Reviews Yes I think so, I hope they will be new arrivals in new groceries, because I have to buy them on Amazon 😅
Hated Tonic all my life. Drank Gin straight or with soda. Then I found Fever Tree! Change my whole Gin drinking life. Great video! really enjoy your videos
Tanqueray no10 and elderflower has just become my favorite combination
I just started drinking gin a couple months ago and it’s changed my whole life. Actually found an alcohol that I actually enjoy drinking. Not just to get drunk. Glad I found you because I’ve discovered there’s a Fever-Tree for every gin. I didn’t like gunpowder gin until I tried it with the elderflower. Probably cuz the heavy herbal and floral notes. Tried Beefeater with the ginger ale today and was blown away. Wondering if you’ve tried the ginger beer and what you thought?
I found an elderflower liquor, and I mixed that with gin and tonic 😍 Quite strong, but OMG it was amazing!
I put elderflower in everything
Interesting im going to try elderflower
It is Very Good. There ginger beer is great and as is there ginger ale
First gin and tonic was with fever tree and I might be hooked
I do a vodka Country Time lemonade then did a 2/3 lemonade and a 1/3 pink. I need to find a quinine powder to add in my mix. I like the vodka, water and a powder mix of the sweet lemonade with a little adult mixed in, of course add ice, for this summer. Maybe I should try the Juniper Gin. It is highly flammable bush in its own right. Thanks for the video.
Ooh sounds lovely Tim!
I have never found the aromatic one, but I most always have some Fever Tree on hand!
Very wise Electricheadboy. It always a disaster to run out of Fever Tree!
I have just found out about another premium brand tonic water from Cornwall called Navas. That might be worthwhile trying out.
My favourite taste is the Mediterranean, I like that isn't so bitter.
Beside the admiration for these guys who take their time in making something very well crafted, I'd like to see something with gin and real fruit juice and real ingredients.
Those sweeteners are MUCH worse than sugar itself! Good video!
Thanks Angry Camper !
Since making this video, Fever Tree have actually been in touch to say that they actually use fructose in their light tonics rather than sweeteners. 👍😊
I usually use Scheppes Lemon with my Gin, call me a heretic if you must but that is my go to mixer when it comes to gin.
Hey Bobby, good video again! Also, as a student dietitian (currently on clinical placement in Kent!) I couldn't agree more with your words about sugar and moderation... especially when gin is involved ;)
Adam M. Daly
Thanks Adam! Glad to see I have expert backing to my theory! 😊👍
Hi love the videos. FYI Fever Tree does not use artificial sweeteners in the Light versions.
Eric Cioffi
Thanks Eric, yes, Fever Tree actually got in touch afterwards to tell me this! 😂
In the netherlands these bottles cost 3,29 euro's each, but they are so very worth it
Elder flower is the greatest Tonic I’ve ever tasted. Period.
Every time I watch a new post I end up watching back to back vids I've seen already and still find them funny lol you ever thought about open Mic night at a comedy club

Just found this review. Fever Tree has made it impossible for me to drink G&T in a bar. That awful tonic that comes out of the gun tastes like old dishwater. I prefer the Elderflower Tonic while my wife prefers the Mediterranean Tonic. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Ron! Glad you agree about fever tree! 😊
9:05 $2.xx for a bottle is still super cheap if you compare it to the bar. a bottle should be 3 or 4 drinks. still an awesome deal! as I mentioned in another video, I found brokers at a local store for $17 for the 1L bottle. so overall I'm rolling in cheap super high quality gin and tonics!
I tried Fever Tree, it was pretty nice. As a straight Tonic fan I'm glad to see this and await your future Tonic brands suggestion and review!
My first tonic water was some random Korean tonic, and I instantly loved the quinine flavor.
Bargain Walmart Tonic was kind of good, but I'd love to find some top quality Tonic.
Thanks for your comment ZapDash !
I am already planning new tonic videos. I will try to American tonic special next time I’m over there! 🇺🇸 😊😊
I've always used the cheapest bottle of tonic, whatever was the store brand for around 75 cents to a dollar, but I picked up my first bottle of Fever Tree to try. However, I'm curious if I'll even notice a difference, as I definitely don't have a sophisticated palate. I didn't notice any difference at all between Tanqueray 10 and regular Tanq, except T10 is a lot more expensive. I don't pick up on subtle differences, so it all tastes pretty much the same to me. The benefit of course, I can save money with cheaper gin; but I am looking to try out some other (reasonably priced) gins.
Any chance you could do a diet tonic review?? To see which is best??
I drink Schweppes usually and you make me wanna buy some fever tree. where can I get cheap fever tree? Amazon ? I can't find any in local supermarket. Also I wanna suggest a gin called komasa gin. It has a subtle and delicate fragrance of citrus. You should like it. Keep it up :)
and do u think there's a difference between can and glass bottle fever tree tonic water?
my dad says everything in moderation all the time as well
I'm with Steve The Barman on this one. Fever tree is rough with too much quinine that dominates good gin rather than complementing it. Stick with middle of the road slightly sweeter tonics that make a much better balanced GNT. Hard to beat good old Schweppes.
Steve Lewis couldn’t agree more, the quinine is just too much for me. Schweppes (especially slimline) is always my favourite. Twelve below is worth a try too.
The Lidl 4 x 200ml glass bottle tonic water is very good, I'm in a minority but don't think fever tree are number 1 either. Keep up the good work young man, great reviews.
Thanks loose_ cannon26
I will give them a try 😊👍
My wife got this tonic for me from our local Atlanta area Lidl (we suddenly have five, still far away but the sixth one is opening near us soon!) for me the other day.
I thought it was super nice and pleasantly bitter and very similar to Fever Tree. Made in France and probably half the cost. Also made with sugar unlike fructose and corn syrup that everyone else is putting (including Schweppes in the US.)
I love Fevertree but the Elderflower is disgusting...and "quinine" is pronounced with long I's.
tried the Elderflower tonic - nice taste of Elderflower but I wonder if you lose the taste of a good gin and just taste elderflower? I suspect if you have a decent gin in the glass stick to the basic Fever Tree.
I completely agree John 👍
I'll definitely have to give the Mediterranean and Elderflower tonics a try! I'm not a huge fan of that quinine taste. What's your opinion of just using soda/seltzer water instead of tonic? Not sure if that's a sin in the gin community, but I find you really get to taste the individual flavors of the gin quite well!
Hey Barry,
Personally I’m not a fan but I know some people do like it. My advice would be to poor it quite strong as the sod water is such a neutral taste. Look out for my ‘Gin For Gin Haters’ video coming next week where I talk suggest different mixers 😊👍
It's probably my favourite tonic water. Admittedly, it's a premium product and the price does reflect that - but you pay for the quality of it. Scweppes isn't bad, but it isn't up to Fever Tree's level and also doesn't have quite range of varieties available. I have wondered what Fentiman's are like?
What's best Mediterranean or Elderflower? I really dislike the bitter taste you get but I like the refreshingness of a Gin
I feel like a Need a Drink after a Gin, Imo Liquids should not taste bitter or dry as you're drinking to feel refreshed
it's a bit like if wearing a coat what makes you colder
You should try Q-tonic water by far the best out there!
Ooh! I’ll definitely look out for this!👍
I just had my first G&T with Fever Tree and it was great. FT was not easy to find and I could only get one bottle. Schwepps is good but Fever Tree is a lot better.
Glad you agree Colin Stacey. Where abouts are you?
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 I am in Ottawa Canada. I would have thought it easy to find but only 1 store in my area carries it.
Colin Stacey
Don’t worry, I’m sure it will be everywhere before long 👍😊
Bobby can you make an review of the Fever Tree Light one? Compare it to the original one please
Great idea! Look out for the video coming soon ! 😊😊
I love q tonic personally
Love Fevertree Tonic, and you did a beautiful review...🍸I love the citrus, and I'm also curious about the cucumber..Have you tried?
Thanks spider! Unfortunately, really don’t like cucumber! 🤢
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 thanks for the headsup🙏 would you recommend the regular Aromatic? The one that's not refreshingly light? I've had my eyes on it for awhile, but I always play it safe and buy the ones I'm familiar with..
I like to make Lillet gin and tonics and Campari gin and tonics, so I was curious if the Aromatic would be too sweet..
Have you tried East Imperial yet? I have been alternating both for a few weeks now and can't make my mind up.
There is a new cucumber one.... prob can try that.
Lots of trash full of fructose and corn syrup in the USA (including Schweppes), so Fever Tree is one of few decent options ($5.99 for 4 tiny bottles)
Recently expanding Lidl has introduced their sugar-based, French-made version (just regular tonic though) for $2.19 in the same packaging and I can’t really tell them apart. I might have to do a blind test just to confirm ;) Kind of amazing and what a huge price difference.
Thanks Jon. I’ll give this a try 👍
No Nonsense Gin Drinking So we has a bit of a blind tasting test today ;) We threw a new Trader Joe’s tonic water (with subtle lime flavor) into the mix. I liked all three but picked Lidl as my top choice. My little daughter who never had tonic before enjoyed Fever Tree a lot! My wife liked Trader Joe’s and thought Lidl was offensive and said she’d lose all her respect for you if you end up liking it like me.
So those are my scientific results. I thought I wouldn’t have to buy Fever Tree anymore but now I have to for my daughter ;)
I’d love to see how you rate it one day.
thanks Jon Lovejoy
I’ll definitely try to get some trader Joe’s!
I have found the Fever Tree for about $4.25 at Wal Mart in the 4-packs of their little bottles.
I only like the red one , but its extremely over priced here in europe , i have to pay double price of a regular bottle cus its imported , but what is the health benefits by drinking ?
Great video again. Your the reason I drink fever tree with my gins now, it's absolutely fantastic stuff. And your absolutely right about sugar, nothing wrong with it as long as you don't go overboard, as you said everything in moderation. I will point out one thing tho, steaks are not bad for you at all, it's just everything else that tends to come with it, like chips, mash, onion rings ect. A meat based diet whilst cutting out carbs is seriously beneficial to your health. Check out Joe Rogan, Jordan and Makayla Peterson for examples 💪👍. Great video as always.
Thanks Hulk! I’m off to buy some steak! 😊😂 🥩
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 filet mignon I hope! Washed down with some tanquray no 10 😉 another great recommendation by you geeza 👍
bobby yo should make a review of another tonics...please? i live in argentina we cannot get fever tree. only when i travel and bring it with me
Ah, I didnt realise. I thought it was everywhere! Which tonics do you get over there?
No Nonsense Gin Drinking we get regular schweppes, britvic, fentimans. And some local shiti Tonics😂😂
Nicolas Sergi
Right, leave it with me Nicolas! 👍
What about the Fever Tree Rhubarb and Raspberry Tonic? I miss a review :)
Bobby, please look as I don't think there is a sugar free fever tree, just a lower sugar fever tree. Try it and see; there still is a lot of carbs in it.
Fentiman’s......!
Whats the white and orange bottle of gin on the left?
Love Fever Tree. Totally agree re the sugar free: awful!
9:30 Wow in that case I guess I drink my G&T really strong 😂
Elderflower is my favorite one, sooo good. Any gins you like to pair with the elderflower tonic?
A t standard gin like beefeater, Tanqueray or Plymouth are all good 👍
I do love a fever tree with my gin, but I do wish that they weren't all sugar free. The only one that isn't is the flagship tonic.
Yeah it’s strange how they’ve made most of them sugar free. I’ll have to try and find out why 👍👍
Great video! how often do you drink gin?
Thanks LuckyMan !
Usually a couple of times a week 😊
Thst must be London prices as I can get those bottles in Kent for £1.30
I need to move to Kent!!!
I find with Fever Tree you taste more the gin compared to Scheweppes that was with Gordon's
I completely agree Pablo 👍
On the point about sugar being bad i would just like to point at the us market you cant buy good without sugar in it lol
Do they sell this in Hong kong
What about fentimans or other brands?
Lookout for videos coming soon!
Picked up the Indian, Mediterranean and the elder-flower tonight, Really liked the Mediterranean but found the gin can overpower fast if you don't make the gin a tonic right. I used Beefeater and thought it didn't work with the elderflower at all. any recommendations on what gin might go better with it?
Hi Chris
I find that King of Soho goes very nicely with elderflower 👍👍
No Nonsense Gin Drinking Thanks!
what do you think of BritviC??? o fentimans
Hey Nicolas,
I'm not a big fan of either to be honest. If I cant get fever tree then i go for Schweppes. 👍
Fever tree is expensive for such small bottles
Not a big fan of the Aromatic version. Made a G and T with Beefeater unpleasant.
4:57
Call me crazy, but if 80% of your gin and tonic is tonic in the first place, you're doing it wrong. I always do about 50/50, don't see the point if you can barely taste the gin in there. Then you're just mostly drinking fever tree lol.
How in hell can anyone do a video on tonic water and not know how to pronounce quinine. KWAI NINE Damn! You have no credibility. Simply use Schweppes, as good as any and better than most.
No, it's pronounced ARSE HOLE. damn. How in hell can anyone comment on a video like this and be such a jerk? Let's not turn tonic water into toxic water. You're the reason the whole of the UK is boycotting social media this weekend.
