Tonic Taste Test

In my tonic article in the Chronicle, I only briefly mentioned the tastes of the tonics neat, not having the time to do a full taste test with different gins. But how often do you drink tonic without gin?

In a lucky coincidence, Time Out New York did a taste test of three of the tonics I mentioned in my story- Fever Tree, Stirrings, and Q Tonic Water, with three different types of gins. Read it here.

On a separate note, I would like to call for an official moratorium on publications calling their booze stories "Raising the Bar." It's been done to death.

Camper-

I too must call for a moratorium on the most over-used word in any cocktail article EVER:

*CLOYING*

Let it go.

by the way, that was not directed at you personally. ;)

Hehe- that's okay. I think I described your choice of tonic water product that way.

But then what's a good word for "long-lasting and overly obvious sweet", as opposed to "toothachey sharp sweet"?
