And if you don't like the taste you can put either Vodka or Gin in it , which much improves the flavour I've always found. And since I drink it for my health, it's important to me so I was glad I found that way of doing it.

Plus it's worked so far for over 40 years, because I've never had malaria yet !

 

[HOBIE]

There you are good for anti malaria & cramp !!! 😉

With a dash of angostura bitters if you over-estimated the vodka...😉

You could of course have an all-in-one Schweppes Bitter lemon drink

Slimline Tonic

I've just recently started drinking slimline tonic - I used to hate the after taste but since I have been diagnosed a year ago & I hardly eat any sweeties I find my tastebuds are changing!

Try slicing a juicey lime up & laying the slices flat in a freezer bag, freeze overnight & then drop a slice in your tonic water - its lovely. It's 'Ice & a Slice' in one!! 🙂

I used to do that with lemons for G & T - don't want to water the gin down with ice, do we?

 

[everydayupsanddowns]

Grapefruit works well too 🙂

 

[Austin Mini]

everydaysupsanddowns, you just be careful with grapefruit juice if you are on Simvitatins.

I have read that about greapfruits & statins

Trophywench, you do make me laugh!! Girl after my own heart 😉

 

[lauraw1983]

G&T (slimline) or gin and diet bitter lemon has become one of my favourite drinks!

Also Sainsburys do the diet tonic with a hint of lime which is lovely!

Oooh I could just go one of those....

I just had single gin with Schweppes indian tonic and they tasted nice. Next time with slimline tonic, though.

When I worked in the centre of Birmingham, on days when it was hot myself and a female colleague sometimes nipped into the cocktail bar of the Grand Hotel and treated ourselves (took it in turns to pay) to a Campari and orange juice, Served in Hi-ball glasses over half a bucketful of ice and 2 straws each to mix it with. So refreshing - and soooooooooooooo pretty!

i like tonic water as it is . slimline as it can be higher in carb if you get the wrong one. My favourite was the low elderflower until i researched the labels. Enjoy . I might enjoy a G and T tonight . It is so hot.
