[edit] Oops, just noticed you were looking to buy your own artisanal tonic water. I was going to mention trying it at Teardrop Lounge, as they make their tonic in house. You’d probably be able to get some tips from the... (5 replies, last updated by Sushiqueen36 April 10, 2008)

I haven’t heard about any high end or gourmet tonic waters and I read all the beverage trade journals. They may be out there but I haven’t seen them. Schwepps is usually considered the best. Then there’s... (18 replies, last updated by rtmonty December 4, 2006)

Any recommendations on where I can find Tonic Water (not Schweppes or Canada Dry). I would prefer a brand that uses cane sugar not glucose/fructose—which I find sickly sweet tasting and try to avoid. Whole Foods used to... (14 replies, last updated by ParsleySage September 21, 2009)

FWIW, I was just cleaning out one of my, uh, less organized cabinets this weekend and came across an old but not ancient (no more than 2 years old) 12 oz can of Canada Dry tonic water. I think more recently I’ve bought... (7 replies, last updated by vjgymnast March 10, 2009)
