East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic is the more common of the citrus ingredients they’ve added to their line of tonics<\/a>. Whereas their Yuzu Tonic<\/a> pays homage to an important citrus of Asian origin; East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic pays homage to the “Forbidden Fruit” of the Caribbean<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is sweetened cane sugar and uses extracts from two kinds of citrus: red grapefruit and pomelo. The origin of the cinchona bark is from Java in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n

To the nose,\u00a0East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic is a delightful bouquet of fresh pink grapefruit flesh. Juicy and vivid, it’s quite literal and bright.<\/p>\n

Sipped on its own, it’s again heavy with grapefruit (I mean, truth in advertising\u2014 you get what it says on the label). It’s a bit tart on is own, with the finish having a metallic grapefruit tang to it. There’s a pithy grapefruit flavor that hangs on the palate long after swallowing.\u00a0East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic is also rather restrained in its bitterness.<\/p>\n

East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic and Gunpowder Gin<\/h2>\n

Firstly, what excites me most about\u00a0East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic is that on the American market, it’s the best plug and play\u2014 one ingredient\u2014 to make a Finnish Long Drink<\/a>. With Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin, you get a nice marriage of both worlds. Juniper and tea come through with a hint of spice; the finish of the tonic water is further improved. The pithiness is obscured in the finish of the gin, while the metallic note is largely reduced.<\/p>\n

East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic is a superior beverage in a mixed cocktail as opposed to sipped as a soda.<\/p>\n

Overall,\u00a0East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic<\/h2>\n

It’s a solid grapefruit tonic. It has a nice flavor and is true to its signature ingredient. While as a tonic water fan, I prefer a bit more bitterness; those looking for a little less bitterness in their tonic water will find\u00a0East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic a welcome mixer.<\/p>\n
