Timberline<\/a> Tonic Syrup opts for a fairly straightforward approach. In essence they take a historical approach. Before tonic water, the\u00a0tonic<\/em> in a gin and tonic was quinine powder.<\/p>\n

Thus the rather simple ingredient bill of Timberline Tonic Syrup. Eschewing much of the citrus and spice elements others add to create a unique flavor, Timberline is quinine, water, sugar and citric acid.<\/p>\n

But I’ll tell you what the real revolution here is. Timberline Tonic Syrup is\u00a0perfectly clear<\/em>, Despite the blue bottle, this is the tonic syrup for folks who want to get into tonic syrup but can’t get past the color.<\/p>\n

Granted, they use an extract rather than Cinchona powder directly. But I have found that the color is an issue for tonic syrup acceptance behind the bar and in homes. Appearing clear as if using a tonic water<\/a> is the kind of revolution that could get Timberline tonic behind bars around the world.<\/p>\n

Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n

There’s almost no nose. Whatever flavor it has is held close to the chest when poured on its own.<\/p>\n

Sipped, Timberline Tonic Syrup is aggressively sweet and bitter. It’s almost cloying. The quinine has a strong calciferous edge to it\u2014 distinctively chalky especially on its own.<\/p>\n

I find that this mostly goes away when mixed with soda water. It’s pleasantly bitter with a moderate sweetness\u2014 in others words Timberline Tonic Syrup could pass for a tonic water once mixed.<\/p>\n

Gin and Tonic<\/h2>\n

I mixed it up with Tiki Gin<\/a>. Timberline Tonic Syrup steps away allowing the pineapple and lime notes to come through early. The finish has a pleasant but only mild bitterness to it. Though it lasts for a long time residing only gradually on the palate.<\/p>\n

Overall, Timberline Tonic Syrup<\/h2>\n

The color of Timberline Tonic is striking for a tonic syrup. I’m in love with how it appears. The flavor is good, but not as memorable. It ends up being quiet but effective.<\/p>\n

Timberline Tonic Syrup is the the tonic for drinkers who don’t want to embark on a new journey into tonic syrup. It’s the tonic syrup for those who just want a well-made substitute for tonic water to go with their home soda-maker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
