Fever Tree Raspberry and Rhubarb is sweetened with sugar and includes natural raspberry and rhubarb flavorings to achieve its signature flavor. The color is from a combination of natural ingredients including sweet potato, carrot, safflower and lemon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This tonic water is available in European markets, such as Norway where I found this bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Color: <\/strong>Vivid. It has a hue of bubblegum pink to it, but transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aroma: <\/strong>Raspberry candies<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flavor: <\/strong>Candied raspberry throughout. It starts with candied raspberry and segues into a more complex melange of candied berries\u2014 particularly blackberry with a hint of orange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s quite sweet in impression, though it is only 30 calories per 100 mL serving. I’d say it tastes even sweeter than that with the raspberry candy dominating throughout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finish<\/strong>: Faint hint of quinine and bitterness\u2014 you have to look for it though. It’s a shame because a bit more tonic<\/em> in this tonic water<\/em><\/a> could really give it some balance. Or perhaps a touch more rhubarb. It’s really mostly about the berry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mixed: <\/strong>In a gin and tonic, it surprisingly leave a bit more room for the gin to shine. I was surprised when I tasted juniper, angelica and coriander all cutting through the sweetness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While the raspberry was present, it did not overwhelm. However, there is a important caution here. If you mix your G&T with a heavy tonic ratio (>4:1) it’s going to be all raspberry and taste like a cloyingly sweet pink gin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a more balanced ratio\u2014 say 2:1\u2014 the gin is able to shine through and the tonic water’s sweetness becomes a nice counterpoint to the gin. It enables the drinker to make a gin and tonic that brings the best qualities of a pink gin, but on their own terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’d rather mix my own gin of choice with some Fever Tree Rhubarb and Raspberry Tonic Water to create my own optimal ratio, than buy an already sweetened pink gin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tonic water that will appeal to the DIY home drinker who would rather create their own berry-flavored pink gin than buy an already mixed one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, overall it’s a bit too one note. The raspberry is overwhelming and can come across as a bit cloying. It desperately needs some more bitterness to add balance\u2014 in fact I would recommend mixing Fever Tree’s Indian Tonic Water to your next Rhubarb and Raspberry G&T to balance things out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fever Tree Raspberry and Rhubarb is sweetened with sugar and includes natural raspberry and rhubarb flavorings to achieve its signature flavor.
