Well, not really. Summer is upon us, and that brings me to my favorite summer topic: Gin & Tonics. Inspired by my buddy Amanda Berkowitz - the master of taste tests, i decided to research a supposedly already settled topic - which tonic water is the best. So i assembled the ingredients:

(pic via photoshelter)

Hendricks gin. Three 1L bottles of tonic water all procured from Fresh Direct. Ice via NYC tap water. Local, organic cucumber also from FD. Non-local, non-organic lime from the local deli (unpictured). And yes, i know, real enthusiasts (read: alcoholics) make their own tonic water, but i don’t have that sort of time.

Methodology: three drinks, measured exactly 1 part gin, two parts tonic. Venessa was my double-blind taster. No fruit to start, tried cucumber and then lime on subsequent drinks.

Tasting notes:

schweppes: least character of the bunch - perhaps the most balanced, with a bit of sugar and a bit of quinine flavor. mid-sip flavor might be considered medicinal. Probably due to the lack of character, it took to lime/cucumber better than the other two though this advantage faded as the ice melted. Also exposed the gin the best of the bunch. A solid ‘B’ grade.

canada dry: strong initial quinine flavor - fades with time, but leaves a sugary, pasty aftertaste. The most artificial tasting of the bunch.

seagrams: the opposite of canada dry - dull initial flavor with a strong quinine aftertaste, possibly the dryest of the three - very little sugar. Initially overpowered lime/cucumber but as ice melted, possibly the most enjoyable of the three.

The Winner:

Well, me, as i had a good excuse to make a bundle of gin and tonics on this nice sunday afternoon. But beyond that, given the option, i’d probably chose seagrams as my go-to tonic water with schweppes as a close second. The big differentiator is how much dilution (read: melting ice) you’re expecting to have. Hot summer day = seagrams. Cooler climes = schweppes.

Interestingly Schweppes and Canada Dry are made by the same company, so it’s surprising their flavor differed so much.

Happy drinking!

This is Garrett’s second crash report, and sadly for him, but not sadly for me, I hope Photoshop continues to crash and crash and crash on him, if for nothing else than for me to chuckle at his Crash Reports. I’m sorry Garrett, but really, I’m not.
