El Guapo's old-world tonic syrup, made with cinchona bark ground in-house, cane sugar, lime, lemons, grapefruit, oranges, ginger, cardamom, and lemongrass. The tonic boasts of bright citrus and slightly floral flavours with a lingering but pleasant bitterness.

This tonic syrup was crafted after much research on historical tonic recipes. Original tonics were created as an anti-malarial using cinchona bark for its quinine. The trouble was that quinine is extremely bitter. Sugar was added for sweetness and citrus was added for tartness to temper the bitterness. Other herbs and spices made it into various recipes, and it was eventually combined with gin for leisurley drinking.

To make tonic water simply add 15ml of tonic syrup to 45ml sparkling water.

Pairing Suggestion: Archie Rose Signature Dry, Distillery Botanica, Poor Toms Fool Strength Gin, or Beefeater.

Refrigerate after opening.

About El Guapo:

El Guapo like to say they manufacture "everything but the booze", in fact all their products are alcohol-free. Their bitters, syrups, and mixers are made with love in the capital of cocktails—New Orleans, Louisiana—with a focus on customer service, sustainability, and quality ingredient sourcing.

Commited to sourcing the highest quality raw materials to create the best elixirs possible, El Guapo regularly source from regional farmers (some are even family members!) and work with the best spice importers in the business. The entire product line is non-GMO and they don't use any artificial flavours, colours, extracts, essences, or high-fructose corn syrup.

Living in New Orleans means being on the front lines of climate change. With hurricanes, flash floods, and abnormal summer heat waves regularly affecting New Orleans, El Guapo understands the need for sustainable practices. Their labels are made from recycled craft paper, they bottle exclusively in glass and hand-dip every bottle in wax to avoid adding single-use plastics to landfill. El Guapo CEO, Christa Cotton, is also on the board of Glass Half Full which recycles glass back into sand to fight coastal erosion in Louisiana.
