Can any one recommend a dry tonic? They are all way too sweet , including Fevertree
I emailed Fevertree suggesting there was a market for an extra dry tonic (Mr Werner who makes Harrington gin agrees; his gin is nice but too much ginger for my taste) and they didn't bother to reply (presumably didn't bother to read it), just stuck me on their junk mail list, which I found so rude I'm tempted to boycott the beggars.
Lemon flavoured tonic is just

It is lurverley ! Quite an oily spirit, with loads of flavour, much more so than common gin, so much so that I cannot add tonic to BS gin. It has to be drunk neat and in small amounts. Mr Z found a great deal at Muscat airport.......a 2 bottle carton of the stuff (47 proof !!! litre bottles) for £30.

The flavouring ingredients are all natural and are referred to as 'botanicals'. The type and quantity of each producer's botanicals vary according to their own closely guarded recipes; all are carefully selected and tested for purity and quality. All gins include juniper as an ingredient: other botanicals used are coriander, angelica, orange peel, lemon peel, cardamom, cinnamon, grains of paradise, cubeb berries and nutmeg. Typically a fine gin contains six to ten botanicals. Like all gins, London gin should have a predominant juniper flavour.

I tried Bombay London Gin
Underwhelmed

A different elderly relative, when told to stop drinking alcohol switched (occasionally) to Angostura and soda which she said made the transition easier! There were certainly more than a few drops though!
