Jack Rudy, John's Premium, and Tomr's TonicLooking for a unique way to celebrate Father’s Day this year? For the Dad who loves G & Ts, inspire him take to this delicious summer favorite to the next level with one of our all-natural handcrafted tonic syrups!

All Dad needs to do is combine the tonic syrup with carbonated water (and gin!), and he is good to go.

Can’t decide which syrup to choose? Here’s a rundown of the different varieties we have to help guide you:

Jack Rudy Tonic Syrup is all the things you like about traditional bottled tonic, just amped up a little. Bright and citrusy with notes of orange peel and lemon grass.

John’s Tonic Syrup is very citrus forward balanced by a nice quinine bite. Quite tart and pleasant for drinkng in the summer sun.

Tomr’s Tonic is bold and full bodied with a strong presence of earthy cinchona bark and a beautiful amber color in the glass. If Dad likes his drinks with a refreshing bitter bite, this is a great tonic for him.

Pair it with a highball glass, perfect ice cubes, and a long stainless steel spoon straw, and Dad is sure to be enjoying his gin and tonics on the patio this Father’s Day and for the summer beyond!
