Strongwater Sparkling Spanish Tonic Water (12 Pack Cans) - Premium Craft Cocktail Mixer - Orange Blossom Water with Rocky Mountain Water & Quinine - Real Cane Sugar, No Artificial Flavors - 8.4 Fl Oz

Good flavor with just the right hints of citrus without overpowering the quinine.

These "Strongwater Mountain Elixirs Orange Blossom Sparkling Tonic" (12pack of 6.7oz/200ml) are very tasty; definitely elevate any mixed drinks, or craft cocktails that you are making. It is very tasty on its own, so, I am serving it as a non-alcoholic beverage to my guests all the time.For this particular "Orange Blossom" variant, each can is 60 cal with 15g added sugar. It tasted very good as it uses real cane sugar rather than sweeteners (artificial nor natural, sugar alternative). It is floral, tangy, orange-y, citrusy. Awesome flavor, very clean & very crisp. The tonic bitterness is just right and perfect (IMO). It works well with almost any liquor. I used it with whisky, vodka and gin for simple liquor tonic drinks; and I had also used it to top off more exotic recipes.These tonics are definitely crafty, and probably a worthy competitor to the popular tonic brand Fever-Tree. From the case packaging to the can packaging, it feels very premium. And the quality of the liquid is great too. 6.7oz/200ml is the appropriate size for a mixed drink (one can per drink).It is not cheap tho. $25 for a case of 12, coming to a little over $2 a can. It may be ok to use at your home bar occasionally if you want to impress someone, but daily drinking may get expensive.Thank you for reading this review, I hoped that this review & the pictures are helpful to you in support of your purchase decision.

cans exploded after having in room temp kitchen one by one after having for 2 weeks not sealed or something is really wrong

I love the taste of this product, but it is way too expensive to have one defective can per box that needs to go in the trash. The last delivery had a can bulging from both ends. Scary. I am surprised it didn't explode in transit.

Strongwater Orange Blossom Sparkling Tonic: $24.99 for a 12-pack at the time of reviewLike many others during the pandemic, my wife and I found ourselves without much of a social life. We tried the usual Zoom gatherings with family and friends but nothing really equals having all of your crew in the same room for drinks and conversation.Now that things are starting to return to normal, we’ve begun entertaining in small groups again. With that comes the desire to start experimenting and branching out from our usual drinks. My wife’s tried and true favorite is the G&T (gin & tonic) so when I saw this tonic water with orange essence, I knew we had to try it.*What I liked*:This is a unique mixer that’s for sure. It’s tonic water so you expect a certain amount of quinine taste. This tonic water is… quinine forward. That being said, you definitely taste the orange and orange blossom.The whole package is nice. It would make for a nice gift to that discerning cocktail maker in your life.It does mix well (for G&T at least). It’s a great way to change up your routine.*What I didn't like*:At just over $2/can it can seem spendy, but when you consider how much the alcohol costs that goes into the drink, it really isn’t that bad.*The Bottom Line:*We really enjoyed this unique craft tonic. The more I think about it, the sillier it seems to make drinks with fancy alcohol but cheap mixers. Bearing that in mind, the $2/can price tag isn’t too bad. It’ll take us a little bit to get through these 12 cans, but once we do I can definitely see us ordering more. These are a hit! Emphatic five stars out of five.

Being half Irish and half Polish, I am sadly, no stranger to liquor of every kind. Of course, my favorites are gin and vodka, and these new cans of Strongwater Orange Blossom Sparkling Tonic really puts either of those noble spirits on a whole new level. Tonic water is great with gin in a variety of cocktails, and I prefer the classic Gin and Tonic made with Blue Coat Gin which actually leans toward the citrus side flavor wise. Not easy to find outside the northeast, but definitely worth the search. I also tried a can or six of this artisanal tonic water, with both plain Nue Vodka (a craft Texas 6x distilled gem) and a Ketel One Citroen which skews to a lemony flavor. The Strongwater was very nice with both of these vodkas, and I will attribute that to its refreshing extracts of orange blossom, tangerine, and punchy quinine, or maybe it’s the pure Rocky Mountain Spring Water which allows for a lux champagne-like bubble mouth feel. In any case, I drank enough of these premium tonic waters that I should be good on the malaria front for a year or so. I also enjoyed the modern look and presentation of the cans. Definitely chill these bad boys before using. For a better all around drinking experience, I certainly recommend Strongwater Orange Blossom Sparkling Tonic.

I’m a big fan of trying different and unique mixers with my alcohol. I know you can also just drink these plain but what’s the fun in that unless you’re actively not drinking alcohol. We used the strong water orange blossom tonic water to make gin and tonics with our “Ryan Reynolds” aviation Gin and it was fantastic. The hint of orange is really nice and refreshing in the drink. I feel like these have pretty low carbonation compared to most tonic waters but for me that’s okay! We also tried one of these to make a Moscow mule and it was just as good although these don’t have quite the “twang” that other tonics do so it made the Moscow a little more milder.The cans are short cans so you typically get one full drink out of one, which is okay because I tend to waste the rest of the tonic water by forgetting I have it and then it goes flat.
