Fentimans Pink Rhubarb Tonic Water 50 cl

The pink colour alone is enough to bring back memories of rhubarb sweets from childhood. Fentimans has taken that tart, sweet feeling and poured it into a bottle of tonic water.

The Expert's Description

Fentimans Pink Rhubarb Tonic Water is a tonic water from the British drinks house Fentimans, known for its botanically brewed soft drinks. It's made with striking pink rhubarb, which has a tart flavour of its own, and is designed as a sweeter, more nostalgic style of tonic rather than the classic dry approach.

Rhubarb and gin are a well-known pairing in Scandinavian bar culture, and this tonic is built for exactly that combination. Try it with a Gin that has floral or fruity notes, giving the rhubarb sweetness something to play against.

Tasting Notes

The Tasting Experience

The aroma is sweet and lightly tart, like a bowl of fresh rhubarb sprinkled with sugar. The flavour follows the same path — a clear rhubarb character with a tart edge, tied together by the quinine's bitterness in the finish, so the tonic never turns sugary.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Serve the tonic cold in a tall glass with plenty of ice. It works well with a floral or fruity gin, but can also give a classic London Dry gin a sweeter counterpoint. A sprig of fresh mint or a thin slice of rhubarb in the glass completes the picture.
