        <content>Anyone know where I can get "artisinal" tonic water?  I'd love a great gin and tonic at home, that's not made with Canada Dry/Schweppes!</content>

      <content>There's a brand called Fever Tree that is really good....I've seen it at Food Emporium and Whole Foods in Manhattan....haven't found a source in Queens yet. There is another brand, I've seen at whole foods, that is really expensive, so I haven't tried it yet...$10 for 4 6 oz bottles. But I agree...Canada Dry is completely unacceptable, and Schweppes is OK, but is so much sweeter now than what I remember as a kid.......</content>

      <content>Stinky cheese shop on Smith St. has a brand of high end tonic water that I think was solid in 4 packs.  I wish I could remember the name, but I've meant to try it.</content>

      <content>Q Tonic is amazing.  It's sweetened with agave nectar instead of sugar.... I don't think most people realize just how much sugar is in regular tonic water.  And it has real natural quinine.  I think that normal tonic has chemically synthesized quinine.  This stuff is so much better than any other tonic I've ever had that it's almost a different beverage altogether.

I believe they sell it at Whole Foods.  Also at Marlowe and Sons in Williamsburg (they have another brand of fancy tonic there too, which I haven't tried).  It's at Dean and Deluca in Soho, but costs so much more there that I just want to give them a good beating for being so uncool.  enjoy it!</content>

      <content>I'm not positive, but I think that's the brand Stinky sells too, that I was referring to.</content>

      <content>Amazing isnt the word I would use for Q Tonic - more like flat.  I have bought it from Stinky BKLN several times over the course of a year and while I dont mind the agave sweetener I do mind the low carbonation as half the reason I want a drink is for that texture.  Maybe Stinkys batches are just flat but I dont think so.  And it comes in two sizes that I know of.</content>

      <content>Hmmm, I don't remember it being so flat that it bugged me, but to compare it to sparkling waters, perhaps it is more like Pellegrino than Perrier.  I'll check it out next time I try it!</content>
