Tonic water

Japanese: トニックウォーター(英語表記)tonic water
Tonic water

Carbonated water with herb and fruit peel extracts and sugar added. It has a slightly bitter taste. Originally, it was made by adding quinine, which is extracted from the bark of the Cinchona tree, an evergreen tree in the Rubiaceae family, but this is not included in the drinks sold in Japan. It is used to mix spirits, and the gin and tonic cocktail, which uses gin, is particularly well known.
