SodaStream Diet Tonic Syrup, 500mL

I gave my mother a sodastream for Christmas because we could make our own diet tonic water. There are some flavors we've tried for the sodastream that were a disappointment but not this one. One cap full in a 1L bottle makes a sweet, tangy tonic water that mixes beautifully with a good gin. It's also tasty by itself IF you like tonic water. For me, this flavor made the purchase of the soda stream a good bargain. Tonic water in the store can be expensive and this syrup is much more economical.

I am a big fan of diet tonic - mostly to mix with gin or vodka. I got tired of trying to find the diet tonic in the store and thought this syrup would be the reason to invest in the Sodastream line. Love the soda stream idea and it has worked out great for the sodas. However the diet tonic mix tastes like lemon-lime syrup - no bite to it. Does okay when you mix it but I would not buy it again.

I have tried several flavors of diet SodaStream syrup - some is OK and others are really good. This flavor is one I think is really good. In comparing it to store brand Diet Tonic Water in the 2 liter bottles, it comes off pretty well. I can't compare it to name brand stuff since we don't buy that. And it is nice and convenient to have around the house so you can make some whenever.

The value of SodaStream products is often questioned by my friends. This product comes out to be about .04 an ounce for just the syrup if you can find it with free shipping. The 60L CO2 cartridge adds about a penny an ounce depending on where you live and can get it (lately, my local hardware store has been the best around here). The best price I've found locally for premixed Schweppes is about .06 an ounce which is pretty close to the SodaStream cost. Everything else I use SodaStream for seems to be a great value. This one product stays a bit inflated. Nonetheless, I use it because it produces much less recycling waste than the bottles and because I find that the tonic tastes best at about half the recommended concentration- a value at about .02 an ounce which hits the advertised "half price" including the CO2. Of course the value of being able to make a fresh batch when needed should not be discounted either.

People giving this high reviews must never have drank diet tonic before- taste nothing like it. It is horrible. We bought the sodastream to reduce the waste and cost of buying soda in stores. Diet tonic is often wasted from store bought bottles because you often don't go through a liter when you make G&Ts and then it goes flat. So we bought this instead, but I have to say this does not taste anything like diet tonic. Closest we could get to a semblance of store bought diet tonic was to cut recipe in half and add lime. But we dislike it enough that we will not drink it any more. Unfortunately I bought 4 containers. Doh! Too bad there is no alternative to sodastream for diet tonic, because the concept is nice.

This stuff is truly awful if you compare it to something like Schwepps Diet tonic which I consider a really great product.

Having been given a SodaStream machine about 18 months ago and deciding to forgo nightly wine or cocktails, we quickly discovered Diet Tonic was the perfect alternative and have been devotees to its crisp and refreshing taste. We prefer it to even the highest bottled versions because of the quality of its flavor, economic and ecological savings and availability.

Very good quality, but too expensive. You can get diet tonic in Miami at Publix on special two two-liter bottles for about a dollar, which is cheaper than you can make this stuff, but I prefer this because of taste and quality. I drink a lot of this, up to one liter a day, for cramps. Quinine pills are too heavy a dose, and the ol' kidneys get a workout,and no worry about calories.

Does Not taste like Tonic and the sweetener just overpowers the entire drink. i have tried making it less strong but still does not work. also is very runny compared to other sodastream mixes.... dont waste your money on this one and just buy the store brand cans

Product was exactly what I ordered and expected.

Great

The taste really isn't satisfying.

Caution it's not STEVIA but fructalose !!
