Q Tonic WaterPosted Jul 5th 2007 12:12PM by Jonathan M. ForesterFiled under: Raves & Reviews, Trends, New Products, AmericaQ Tonic Water is for when only the best is good enough. There are very few premium mixers on the market, especially tonic water. Now Q Tonic Water is joining the select ranks of premium tonic waters. I got some pre-production samples a few months ago and tried it and found it was very good, but a little on the sweet side. I spoke with the creator, Jordan Silbert, the President of Q Tonic, who spent over four years developing Q Tonic, at first in his New York City kitchen and then later with the help of a food scientist. Jordan said that the final version would be less sweet and have more tang and tartness and he was right.Recently I received the final product and it was excellent. The taste is very clean, dry, and simple. It's a real tonic water made with natural ingredients and no synthetics. It has a the nice bitterness of real extract of ground cinchona tree bark from Peru (not a synthetic quinine), with a hint of sweetness from organic agave syrup from the Jalisco region of Mexico (none of that nasty High Fructose Corn Syrup), and a tang of tartness from lemon extract which brings it all together.
