Fever Tree Tonic Water

In search of some tonic water that doesn't include HFCS I ran into Fever Tree Tonic Water. Has anyone tried it? Are there other HFCS free tonic waters I should look in to?

I use Fever Tree and think it is excellent compared to any 'standard' brand, but I have not tried Q-tonic.

Fevertree makes and excellent G&T and is definitely a huge step up from schweppes or store brand tonic water.

I've had both, Fever Tree and Q. Most of the time preference is a nonpoint since it's hard to find a place with both.

That said, I think I prefer Q, to be honest. Both make a superior g&t, and once you have that, you always notice the sickly sweet and syrupy taste of other g&ts.

Fever Tree also makes other great mixers - had a colleague highly recommend the ginger beer (and he is a ginger beer fanatic)

I can't imagine anything that makes me want to puke more than tonic, oh wait, gin.

Very hit or miss, I would check with Fever Tree to see their distributors. A friend of mine was visiting Stanford and picked up some, so I think they have distribution in CA.

There is a belter of a tonic water from the across the pond - Fentiman's; No HFC's, botanically brewed and sweetened with Lemongrass - not quinine heavy, it doesn't mask the subtlety of the particular posh gin of my affections at the mo - Hendricks. No need for slice of lemon either - just be as cool as a cucumber instead!
ps won't make you puke either!

Had one of these this weekend. Excellent tonic. Spendy but good.

Fever tree tonic is very good though getting hard to find in the States, even in NYC. Stirrings and Boylan's also don't contain HFCS and are pretty tasty but maybe a step below. Not a fan a Q-tonic flavor profile personally. It looks to add some weird sweetness (agave syrup?) which doesn't really work in a classic G&T, IMHO. I've seen some interesting Fentiman's sodas (Shandy, Curiosity Cole,etc.) but no tonic. P.S. Nice Itou petty there Hunts.

I'm not a fan of Q tonic. I'll definitely check out the other recommendations.

I can see how the normal tonic would be a weakpoint. I'll keep my eyes out for something else but I doubt I'll find anything easily here.
