Recently read an article (I think it was NYT)about "boutique" tonics. While I've spent lots of time tasting different gins (I'm partial to Hendrick's), I continue to bemoan the syrupy tonics widely available. Any opinions on the various boutique/designer tonic waters out there? Mon Dec 04 13:49:23 -0800 2006 13565 Sam Ottawa 1 2067935 Can you elaborate? I've not been aware that there are such things - sounds great! If nothing else, a link would be cool - thanks in advance!

As for being avialble in Ottawa... likely not in this small city, sadly. Tue Dec 05 14:42:40 -0800 2006 2067832 13565 Sam Ottawa 1 2073393 They are not readily available yet, give it a year or two. Then you will see quite a few high end mixers coming out, not just tonic. Tue Dec 05 23:24:32 -0800 2006 2067832 10732 JMF
