Why Schweppes is the classic tonic your craft gin deserves

At Craft Gin Club, we taste a lot of gin. As well as being very enjoyable, it’s the only way to make sure we're sharing the very best with our members. But let’s be honest - even the best gin can fall flat without the right tonic.

When it comes to picking a tonic, we’re after one thing: a perfect partner for the gin. And there’s one tonic that has been in a longer-term relationship with our favourite spirit than any other: Schweppes Indian Tonic.

Now, we don’t think this should be controversial - among industry insiders, it’s definitely not, with Schweppes behind the bar of some of the world’s best venues.

But we know there’s a lot of choice out there for gin fans nowadays. We too love discovering all the exciting new mixers hitting the shelves, and pairing them with our Gins of the Month for our Perfect G&Ts.

Schweppes Indian Tonic, though, has a unique and distinctive flavour that just works with so many gins - and that we think it deserves your attention.

Here are five reasons why you should join those in the know, and revisit this stone-cold classic.

1. Sparkling Bubbles

High carbonation gives every sip a lively, crisp feel that keeps your G&T refreshing right to the bottom of the glass. It’s all in the sparkle!

2. Balanced Quinine

Schweppes delivers just the right touch of quinine bitterness. Enough to give your G&T structure and a satisfying edge, without overpowering the delicate botanicals of your gin.

3. Distinctive Citrus Note

Schweppes Indian Tonic has a hint of citrus that lifts the drink and pairs beautifully with a wide range of gin styles. It adds a zesty freshness that we just love.

5. Trusted & Timeless

With over 200 years of history, Schweppes has become a trusted choice in bars and restaurants around the world. Its consistency and expertise make it a reliable partner for almost any gin style - a classic that never goes out of style.
