The Zero-Calorie Tonic Brand
CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SKINNY TONICS
Skinny Tonics has unveiled a series of new exotic flavours for the summer, so cocktail lovers can enjoy a G&T laced with tastes of the Mediterranean or recreate an espresso martini with a homemade vodka and coffee tonic. Adapting the trend for flavoured gins, Skinny Tonics’ new selection consists of eight flavours – Classic Indian Tonic, Aromatic, Ginger Ale, Clear Coffee, Mediterranean, Cucumber, British Raspberry and Light Citrus.
The Skinny Tonics range of sugar-free tonic water was created by Ian Minton, a type-1 diabetic, who identified a gap in the market for a natural, zero-calorie and zero-sugar tonic that wouldn't cause a blood sugar spike. Unable to find a tonic water – even slimline – without either hidden sugar or artificial sweeteners, he teamed up with Steve Wilkinson to produce one themselves, and Skinny Tonic was born. The brand’s mixers contain zero calories, no sugar and nothing artificial, with the sweetness coming from natural plant extract, stevia. Each mixer is made with spring water from Shropshire and is packaged in fully recyclable aluminium cans in a plastic-free factory in Liverpool.
The Flavours To Try…
Light Citrus, £15 for 24 x 150ml cans
Billed as a ‘hybrid tonic’, Light Citrus is where soda meets tonic to deliver a fresh-tasting blend of fresh zesty lemon and bitter orange. This sophisticated tonic works brilliantly with vodka and a slice of lime for a citrus-filled finish.
