Oh no! Tonic water crisis!

[JellySlice]

There's no tonic water!

I was really looking forward to my G&T.

Alternatives?

Do you have anyone you can send to the shop? I'd be distraught!

Lemonade, soda with a twist of lemon or lime, drink it neat depending on how bad a day you've had 😁

Any cordial/squash. I love Waitrose grapefruit squash with gin.

Gin and fruit juice is always nice.

No shop nearby?!

Lemonade but not the same

Lemonade with angostura bitters, though better with tonic when you get some, grown up tasting even without the gin.

Elderflower!

No chance of a shop.

Nothing fizzy in the house.

Drink it neat? (that's not jealousy!)

No juice in the house.

I have got citrus fruit.

If it's good with Angostura - which I don't have, either - I wonder whether it would be good with gazpacho? A sort of gin Bloody Mary?

I shall report back!

It woulds be delicious imo. Nothing worse than gin with no tonic!

Ooh you can do a gin with fresh lemon drink I think, let me find the recipe.

Gin and elderflower is delicious, also gin and ginger (ale or beer). Although not v helpful suggestions if you have nothing fizzy I the house at all! Sorry OP I feel your pain!

Nope, a Bloody Ginny does not work. It just made the gazpacho taste vaguely soapy. BTW I highly recommend the Costco gazpacho - very nice (without gin, that is!).

There is some cordial somewhere...

Bees knees (gin, lemon, honey mixed with a tiny bit of water to loosen enough for mixing, ice) or a gimlet (gin, lime, sugar syrup, ice).

Dry Martini?

Negroni? (Campari, red vermouth, gin)

A negroni?

Pour it over lemon or raspberry sorbet, let it melt slightly.

I would also be distraught! I try to keep Fever Tree cans in the fridge at all times, although they're extortionate (thanks to sugar tax! ). However I think of the suggestions above, a gimlet sounds good!

Cordial - nope. A bit icky.

G & Fever Tree T. Just has to be.

Hmmm, might try a Gimlet. I've got a lime. No sugar syrup, but I've got glucose food-glue which might work as a substitute.

I love a gimlet. Lime juice, sugar syrup and gin.

This is a long shot... do you have a soda stream?

Cooled earl grey or chamomile tea, with a dash of prosecco?
I went to a gin festival a few weeks ago and they did a chamomile tea cocktail

Lemonade shortage too, love it with my gin

Sugar syrup is usually sugar and water boiled then chilled. But in an emegency I have been known to mix it in a bottle and shake. Has worked.

Drink it the Portuguese way - with water!
