El Guapo Tonic Syrup 488ml
Country of origin: United States of America
Alcohol content: 0% ABV
El Guapo's old-world tonic syrup, made with cinchona bark ground in-house, cane sugar, lime, lemons, grapefruit, oranges, ginger, cardamom, and lemongrass. The tonic boasts of bright citrus and slightly floral flavours with a lingering but pleasant bitterness.
This tonic syrup was crafted after much research on historical tonic recipes. Original tonics were created as an anti-malarial using cinchona bark for its quinine. The trouble was that quinine is extremely bitter. Sugar was added for sweetness and citrus was added for tartness to temper the bitterness. Other herbs and spices made it into various recipes, and it was eventually combined with gin for leisurley drinking.
To make tonic water simply add 15ml of tonic syrup to 45ml sparkling water.
Pairing Suggestion: Archie Rose Signature Dry, Distillery Botanica, Poor Toms Fool Strength Gin, or Beefeater.
Refrigerate after opening.

El Guapo British Colonial style Tonic Syrup a refr
7 January 2017Having recently commenced using Tonic syrups I was attracted to El Guapo's description of their product. The syrup has a predominant citrus flavour with hints of ginger and herbs/spices. It does not have any overt quinine characters and makes for a delicious and refreshing change. It is hard to stop at just one G&T!

Interesting taste
By: Jodi on 2 September 2015I thought I'd try this as a result of reading a blog on tonic water and how tragic supermarket-bought stuff is. I think I still may need to adjust quantities to get it right, but the taste is definitely better than what I'm used to.
