I’m fizzing!!

I love Fevertree Mediterranean but Lidl is just as good & an unbelievable 3rd of the price

Yes Aldi for me too, much better flavour. I found Schweppes overly sweet.

As a young woman, I worked for Sch, you know who. Not a fan of G and T but if in need of a change from vodka and coke, Fevertree range is great, especially the blood orange.

For Menopausel . . . .and "it's also full of sweeteners" . . . .erm, WHAT IS?!

And for Bluesmum . . . ."alcohol free gin", well, whoever dreamed that up?! IsNibs once let me try an alcohol-free beer, and after that I won't be rushing to try more alcohol with the alcohol removed?!

As for the tonic, I've gradually had to swerve anything fizzy for a few years now, as the digestive system plumbing just cannot cope. My innards start to sound like the pipes in an old hotel when the boiler starts the heating going?

Thanks for all your suggestions, have tried several, still some to go, but fever tree is the best so far😀

I recently attended a talk by a gin manufacturer, and a member of the audience asked if they could recommend a tonic water that complemented it the best. The reply was Fever tree.

M&S's own brand is my favourite but Fever Tree is also good and seems to be in most supermarkets now. I prefer plain tonic or elderflower but I'm not keen on the fruity flavours.

The Elderflower one in Lidl is lovely (glass bottle)

I buy Tesco’s own. Seems fizzy to me.

I like Fever Tree or Fentimans in gin, but I drink a lot of tonic water on its own and find that it always seems to have a bit more fizz when it’s not added to gin than when it is. Just an observation.

Buy a Sodastream machine and make your own. Fizz as you go! Much cheaper and greener.

I used to test tonic water in the Schweppes lab. It always had a relatively low carbonation (fizz) compared to other drinks. I doubt this has changed, but it might seem flat compared to other brands. Personally I like less ‘fizz’.

Fever tree is the only one I've found that doesn't have artificial sweeteners.

I was a huge Fevertree fan for years before I discovered Aldi Tonic, which is absolutely the best! I don’t drink alcohol anymore, but I do love alcohol free Gordon’s gin with Aldi tonic, just a superb, lovely summer drink xxx

I have just bought a whole case of Schewpes tonic water in cans.

It is just as fizzy as ever, so perhaps the solution is cans, not bottles.

I like the Aldi one. Can’t tell the difference between that and fevertree, so a win, win. Also can’t tell,the difference between Aldi gin and Gordon’s. 😃

I’ll drink to that!! 😂

I have a soda stream and tonic ‘additive’ so I can make tonic water as fizzy as I wish……….and far less waste going into the recycling.

Fever tree every time.

It’s also full of sweeteners which taste foul.

I like fever tree. Husband said it helps with his cramp.

Nordic Mist with a couple of cardamom pods: Devine.

😂

The blurb states 'the mist is lovingly gathered on early autumn mornings in the remote Scandinavian countryside, in a symbiotic relationship with cardamom pods, gathered by hand from the warm moist forests of India. Specially selected for you to enjoy with your favourite gin'.

It was after researching it that I found the blurb and said ^thats the one for me^😂

😁

I like Fevertree too. I have tried London Essence and M&S own brand but I didn't like them as much.

Tesco, Waitrose and Marks and Spencer (available online via Ocado) have their own brand TW. Never tried any but might be worth a go. Not sure that Sainsbury's do.

Price has gone up because of inflation I read . I used to buy a pack for £4 now it is £6 . We like Schwepes so stick with it . I read that the chain B & M have it for £4 so off to find it on Monday .
