Polar is a brand widely available in New England and the Northeastern United States that has a widely devoted following, in particular for their seltzers<\/a>. Polar has been making seltzer since 1882. Like many soda brands, they also have a line of club sodas and tonic waters.<\/p>\n

Their Tonic is widely available in markets where the Polar Brand is available. It’s priced comparatively low, often some place between Schweppes and Supermarket Brands. So at 99 cents a bottle, Polar Tonic is expected to be a value brand for when quantity is the goal.<\/p>\n

Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n

The nose has a classic lime seltzer note to it. Pleasantly lime with a tart citric acid tang, no sweetness detectable. Subtle tonic water nose, but not much character overall.<\/p>\n

The water has a low to moderate bubble density, with a small-to-medium size. The mouth-feel has a pleasant burst to it, but it’s noticeably less fizzy than some other brands. The flavor is crisp and clean with a well balanced lime and then clean quinine bitterness. It fades quickly and concisely, leaving only a faint bitter aftertaste.<\/p>\n

Mixed with gin, Polar Tonic Water with Lime adds a pleasant lime note to the finish. The lime note reminds me of the lime you get from Rose’s Lime Juice, more so than that of fresh lime. Which I think is why it actually seems to work here. It adds a pleasant citric bite with none of the additional cloying sweetness that Rose’s Lime Juice Has.<\/p>\n

Overall<\/h2>\n

Polar Tonic Water With Lime isn’t going to be served in any expensive cocktail bars anytime soon; however, for a supermarket brand that has lime natural flavor added, it works well with most gins. It allows your gin to be the star and adds just a hint of something extra.<\/p>\n

It’s best with stark classic juniper forward gins; however, I’m surprised that I find myself drinking this and saying, “not only is this not bad, it’s pretty refreshing.”<\/p>\n

Recommended in its category.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
