Naturfrisk Indian Tonic is crafted for the classic Gin & Tonic, but it is equally at home in a wide range of cocktails or simply enjoyed on its own. Its dry, refreshing taste combines the pleasant bitterness of quassia with bright citrus notes and lively carbonation, creating a well-balanced tonic full of character.
The story of Indian Tonic dates back to the time of the British Empire in India. British soldiers were required to take quinine as protection against malaria. As quinine is intensely bitter, it was mixed with water, sugar and later carbonated to make it more palatable. This simple idea became the foundation of the drink we now know as Indian Tonic.
Today, tonics are made using a variety of different bittering agents. At Naturfrisk, we use quassia, which provides an elegant, balanced bitterness that complements both the tonic itself and the spirits it is paired with.

Motif 25 cl: Naturfrisk Indian Tonic features the motif of a viviparous lizard (Lacerta vivipara). It can grow to a length of 18 cm, with the hale constituting more than half the length. Most of us know that the viviparous lizard sheds its tail when it is startled or under attack. When this happens, the tail wriggles, thereby detracting attention from the lizard itself, so it can escape to safety.
