I also like Schweppes. Great bubbles and bitterness. I just wish they didn’t use junk high fructose corn syrup.[/quote]

HFCS is bad, but not NEARLY as bad as the benzoate preservatives many tonic waters have in them. Those are highly carcinogenic when in the presence of acids like ascorbic acid, which basically most all G&T's will have. Even Fever Tree has that toxin in them.

Walgreens has tonic without it, but still has the HFCS. [/quote]

Yikes. Is there no commercially sold tonic water that doesn't have it and hfcs?[/quote]

Not that I have found yet, though I haven't searched high and low either. I just check out new ones when I come across them.

Avoid the ones with the benzoates first, as that's much more harmful than the HFCS, if one is making a proper G&T. Most people use waaaaaay too much tonic water, which has tons of sugar. Just a little splash is all that's needed, or making your own tonic water. [/quote]
