4 Tonic Waters for Every Spirit: A Brief Pairing Guide

Behind the counter, there’s a search for dependable products that can adapt to different contexts and guarantee precise results. This is also true for soft drinks. Match Tonic Water originated from this demand: a line of independent, versatile tonic waters made with functional ingredients, less than 5 grams of sugar per 100 ml, and a handy, instantly recognisable square bottle made from recycled glass.

Match Tonic Water, from Indian to Mediterranean

Indian is the most direct: dry, clean, with a balanced blend of lemongrass, lemon and grapefruit. It brings out the balsamic notes of a London Dry without overpowering them. It also works well on its own, for those looking for a dry but expressive drink, with a distinct bitter base and a lasting citrusy profile.  Mediterranean features soft, salty notes of basil, sage and rosemary, making it ideal for contemporary, low ABV gins.

Floral and Spicy

Floral focuses on lavender, orange blossom and jasmine, perfect for delicate liqueurs, pink gin and botanical spritzes. Spicy leans towards umami, with ginger, turmeric, pepper and smoked cherry wood: an intense choice for rum, tequila and bitters. It’s also a flavourful standalone beverage. Match Tonic Waters are all different, but they share one thing in common: they  engage with spirits and make every mix make sense.
