Slimline/low sugar tonic that actually tastes good and without artificial sweeteners. Does it exist?

Hi,

So I'm looking at drinking less wine and noticed that a G&T lasts me longer than a glass of wine and also has less units (I think)

The only thing is I only really enjoy the original tonic, but it's FULL of sugar, so I'm not sure it would work out healthier in the long run.

Slimline tastes much sweeter, which I don't like, as it's the sharpness and slight bitterness that I enjoy with a G&T, but I don't like the idea of consuming artificial sweeteners on a regular basis.

Are there any low or no sugar tonics without any nasties, maybe stevia (if that's how you spell it) or similar, that tastes just as good as the original?

TIA

I thought fever tree didn’t have artificial sweeteners.

Fever Tree. I can’t stand the artificial taste of aspartame in Schweppe’s and other low calorie tonic waters

Fever tree light is the best. It just has less sugar, no artificial sweeteners.

Fever tree, it's lovely

Yes came on to also say fevertree : the aromatic one is lovely.

Fentimans is also nice, think it might be called naturally light.

Thanks everyone.

Just looked and the Fever Tree light has around 1/4 of the sugar original, which sounds great, but actually still quite high compared to a glass of Sauvignon, my usual tipple. I guess something's gotta give 🤷‍♀️

Has anyone tried Gallybird? Looks like it has zero sugar and uses stevia, which is a natural sweetener apparently. Bloody expensive though!
