TONIC WATER



Tonic Water image

Adapted from Bitter: A Taste of the World's Most Dangerous Flavor by Jennifer McLagan I changed up the spice mixture from what Jennifer used and tinkered (ie: customized) a few other things. Some people add a teaspoon of dried lavender to their tonic water infusing along with the allspice, and I also included some cardamom, since I like that elusive flavor in my cocktails. I used chopped chinchona bark, not powdered chinchona, which comes broken into little pieces. I've listed sources for that, as well as the citric acid, after the recipe. If you can't gather all four citrus fruits, feel free to substitute one for another, ie: 2 oranges instead of 1 grapefruit and 1 orange. Since you're using the peel, it's best to use organic or unsprayed citrus fruits. To make the simple syrup, bring 1 1/4 cup (250g) of sugar to a boil with 1 cup (250ml) of water, stirring frequently, for one minute, until the sugar is completely dissolved. To use this tonic water, mix it 1:1 (in equal parts) with sparkling water or club soda.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 quart (1L) water
1 grapefruit
1 orange
1 lemon
1 lime
2 1/2 ounces (75g) chopped lemongrass ((use the bottom 2/3rds of the stalks, trimming off the root end first))
3 tablespoons (33g) citric acid
1/4 cup (22g) chopped chinchona bark
10 allspice berries
5 cardamom pods (slightly crushed)
2 small star anise
1 teaspoon coarse sea or kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups (375ml) simple syrup ((see headnote))

Steps:

  • Pour the water into a medium-sized nonreactive saucepan. Add the zest from the grapefruit, orange, lemon, and lime. (You can remove it with a sharp vegetable peeler, in strips, or with a citrus zester.) Halve, then juice the citrus fruits and add the juice to the saucepan.
  • Add the lemongrass, citric acid, chinchona bark, allspice, cardamom, star anise, salt, and black peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover with a lid, leaving it slightly askew, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, uncover, and cool to room temperature.
  • Pour into a container, such as a large screw-top jar, and chill for 2 days in the refrigerator, shaking it gently a couple of times a day.
  • Strain liquid through a fine mesh strainer, preferably into a large measuring cup (which will make the next step easier). Discard the spices, lemongrass, bark, and citrus peels. Strain the mixture again, this time through a strainer lined with several layers of cheesecloth, muslin, or a coffee filter. (If using a coffee filter, it'll remove most traces of the spice powder but it'll take a bit of time, so be patient.)
  • Add the sugar syrup, then pour into clean bottles or screw-top jars and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To use the tonic water: Pour off the tonic water, avoiding disturbing any bark and spice sediment that might settle into the bottom of the bottle or jar, then add an equal amount of sparkling water to obtain the quantity that you need. So to make 1 cup (250ml) of tonic water, you'll use 1/2 cup (125ml) of the tonic water mixture, and 1/2 cup (125ml) sparkling water.

HOMEMADE TONIC WATER

10 TONIC WATER COCKTAILS - THE SPRUCE EATS

From thespruceeats.com
  • Gin and Tonic. The wonders of the gin and tonic are not to be underestimated. It's a simple drink, but the combination of its two ingredients accented with fresh lime juice is utterly fantastic.
  • Vodka Tonic. Many people prefer vodka over gin, making the vodka tonic an equally popular choice for dinner, happy hour, and sunny days. Vodka's more neutral flavor allows the drink to show off a really great tonic water.
  • Whiskey Tonic. Are dark spirits more your style? The whiskey tonic has you covered. This recipe prefers Irish whiskey's smoothness and switches to a lemon garnish because it's a better match than lime.
  • Strawberry Gin and Tonic. The ultimate summer tonic recipe, few drinks are as satisfying as a strawberry gin and tonic. The recipe features homemade strawberry syrup, an excellent way to preserve the fruit's sweet taste when the berries are plentiful.
  • Cherry Gin and Tonic. Rather than a syrup, use your trusted muddler to build a fruit-kissed tonic drink. It's a great alternative that relies on the fruit's natural sweetness to build a balanced cocktail.
  • Autumn Spiced Tonic. Homemade liquor infusions are an easy way to give soda drinks extra flavor. In the autumn spiced tonic recipe, you'll start by infusing vodka with apple, pear, and cinnamon.
  • White Port and Tonic. Liquor is not the only option for spiked tonic drinks. Fortified wines are an excellent pairing as well, and a great place to begin exploring their potential is with the white port and tonic.
  • Vermouth Cassis. Many drinks that use another type of soda are perfect venues for a tonic substitution. Building on the fortified wine pairing, the vermouth cassis is one of the best options.
  • Royal-Tea. The royal-tea recipe is a still drink that could use a bit of sparkle. Made with London dry gin, Earl Grey tea, lemon, and sugar, it's an iced alternative for afternoon tea.
  • Campari and Soda. It may be too much for some people, but drinkers with a bitter-loving palate will find this option fascinating. The Campari and soda is a simple mixed drink that pairs the Italian bitter with soda water.
