Jack Rudy Extra Bitter Tonic Syrup
Jack Rudy Extra Bitter Tonic Syrup is a small-batch, handcrafted concentrate that transforms the humble gin and tonic into a sophisticated cocktail experience. Made in Charleston, South Carolina, this premium tonic syrup features real cinchona bark, the natural source of quinine, along with lemongrass, orange peel, and a blend of botanicals that create a more complex and authentic tonic flavor than any store-bought alternative. The "Extra Bitter" designation means this syrup delivers a pronounced quinine bite and herbal depth that appeals to those who appreciate bold, grown-up flavors. Simply mix with soda water and your spirit of choice to create a fresh, carbonated tonic drink that rivals the best craft cocktail bars, giving you complete control over sweetness and strength.
The syrup presents a beautiful amber color and an aromatic profile of citrus, herbal notes, and that distinctive bitter quinine character. When mixed, it creates a balanced tonic with bright citrus, earthy botanicals, and a satisfying bitterness that complements rather than masks quality spirits. The finish is crisp and refreshing with lingering bitter notes that cleanse the palate. Beyond the classic gin and tonic, this versatile syrup works wonderfully with vodka, tequila, or even whiskey, and can be adjusted to your preferred sweetness level by varying the ratio of syrup to soda water. One bottle makes approximately 16-17 drinks, making it both economical and space-efficient compared to canned tonics. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast seeking bar-quality drinks at home or looking to elevate your entertaining game, Jack Rudy Extra Bitter Tonic Syrup delivers craft cocktail flavor with impressive convenience.
