Rose with tonic?

22 replies

Dragony · 01/03/2025 17:12

I’ve just opened some rose wine and it’s rank.

I have a bottle of tonic in the fridge. Would it be extra rank to add it to the rose, or it make it less rank?

Extra rank.

Id add some lemonade.

MrsJHernandez · 01/03/2025 17:21

I agree that lemonade would be better. Tonic doesn't taste very nice either so can't see how it would make the wine nicer!

Interested in this thread?

Oh no, no lemonade here. I’ve just had a look in the fridge and I’ve got normal tonic and schweppes hibiscus tonic.

I’m starting to think if I have another glass it will start to taste nice.

It might work with hibiscus tonic and some lemon juice and a bit of sugar... kind of spritz?!

RandomMess · 01/03/2025 17:57

I had a really strong wine and with the tonic added it was more like a flavoured G&T

Go to the shop and buy more wine before it's too late

Go for it! 🍷

In the interests of research, I am going to try rose with hibiscus tonic

Report back @Dragony ...

Dragony · 01/03/2025 18:18

Not recommended, doesn’t hide the rankness

OP posts:

It possibly needs a bit of sugar syrup?
But will probably give you a bad hangover...

Charlottejbt · 01/03/2025 18:33

Lots of ice cubes to dilute the rankness.

HalfTermHoliday · 01/03/2025 18:34

I think you are right in your assessment op - the second and subsequent glasses will taste less rank... Report back if you can 😄

LegalAlienated · 01/03/2025 19:04

Anything goes with tonic. Even wine. 😁

Dragony · 02/03/2025 15:52

The second and third glasses did not taste any better unfortunately! With or without tonic!!

And how was your head today?! Rough wine tends to always be the worst...

Surprisingly ok! I did have a few glasses of water to wash away the rank taste so that must have helped!
