Pratt Standard Cocktail Company Old Fashioned Authentic Tonic Syrup.Recommended - A Successful Experiment.If you are looking for a variation on traditional tonic flavor, and you like Mulling spices this may be right for you. It combines cinnamon, allspice, cloves, cardamom and other spices with the bite of quinine to make a very interesting tonic.Pratt Tonic was not quite what I was expecting. Its has unique flavor that has truly grown on me.There's a balance between the mulling spices, and quinine that works. Try adjusting the amount to find what works for your. For my taste, using slightly less than the recommended amount actual improved the flavor profile.Pros -DryAromaticInteresting flavorCons -Some feel that the Quinine flavor competes with the mulling spice for attention.

I don’t see cinnamon in the ingredients, but that’s all I taste in this syrup. It’s not bad, but it’s not the tonic I expect with my gin.

I agree with most of the reviewers here, from one to five stars.It is the most vegetal of all of the mixes out there. It has a range of flavors in which some detected pumpkin but it has a bitterness that stops it being sickly. My spouse loves this stuff but she dislikes regular tonic water. I love it for a "change" but I don't place it in the mainstream of tonics. God knows where any thought of authenticity enters in. Pratt makes its own standard here. I understand the hipster critique, but sometimes even hipsters have it right. My recommendation is to try it and then give it one to five stars based entirely on your own taste.

I can't say what year is the best year to emulate in tonic syrup. Obviously, these folks think it might be 18-hundred something. I'm not going to argue.This isn't going to taste anything like your Segrams, Canada Dry, or even Q. If that's what you want, look elsewhere.But, this syrup is all I want to drink for all of the 4th quarter of the mess that is 2020. I am enjoying it most with Valentine Liberator Old Tom gin. It's probably not going to be my pick for July 2021, but, come October, it will probably fall back into rotation. Cheers.

A little goes a long way. So for a more 'light' gin and tonic you don't need a lot. It does have a heavy cinnamon / pie spice flavor so if that isn't your jam I'd find another syrup. Overall, great product for the price and makes it easy to have a gin and tonic if you have a Soda Stream because you don't have to go buy tonic at the store.

I can tell this syrup is made with love and care - and that it comes from good ingredients. That said, unfortunately, if you have a palate, it's a cinnamon and other "warm/brown" spice noted tonic that pervades any liquor you put with it. I know that's personal taste, but I have to say, I don't know how anyone could find "balance" with this tonic syrup. If you want something that feels like fall foliage, and should be in a whiskey cocktail, have at it!

Part of me was expecting something that tasted SOMEWHAT like what I know as tonic water but this is nothing like what you would normally expect... Calling it "Tonic water" indicates to me that it should resemble it but I can not say that it does.. Its not bad but if I served someone a vodka tonic with this, they would be like WTF.. It's fine and I will finish it but its like asking for a sprite and getting a ginger ale in my mind.

I'm a total convert: I used to never like gin and tonics, and now I know why... the synthetic tonic waters you buy in stores are just not worth it. True's tonic syrup is absolutely delicious and really makes me love gin and tonics. Instead of masking the gin's flavors, like synthetic tonic waters, this syrup really enhances the botanicals and nuances of the gin. The flavor is complex and delicious, and you can customize how much to add/how much soda to add based on your taste buds. This is definitely a different G&T experience, but in all the right ways.
