Show me cocktails that contain soda water or tonic water.
Cocktail Colin says:
Absolutely! It sounds like you're in the mood for a refreshing effervescent drink. Here are some great options that feature either soda water or tonic water:
- Vodka And Tonic – A classic combination, the Vodka and Tonic (rating 4.6/5) is refreshingly simple with its mix of vodka and tonic water. This is perfect for a hot day or casual gathering, offering a clean, crisp taste with a slight bitterness from the tonic balanced by a lime garnish.
- Gin And Tonic – Another beloved classic, the Gin and Tonic (rating 4.5/5) pairs gin's herbal and sometimes citrusy notes with tonic water's bitterness. Served in a highball glass with a slice of lime, it's ideal for a sophisticated aperitif or a refreshing sip at social gatherings.
- Vodka Collins – If you enjoy a bit more complexity, the Vodka Collins (rating 4.5/5) provides a delightful blend of vodka, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and soda water. Shaken and served in a highball glass, it's garnished with a cocktail cherry and an orange slice, making it both delicious and visually appealing.
- Vodka Rickey – For those who prefer a tangy twist, the Vodka Rickey (rating 4.44/5) offers a mix of vodka, lime juice, sugar syrup, and soda water. This cocktail refreshes with its brightness and is served with plenty of ice, making it perfect for a crisp, invigorating drink.
- Gin and Zonic – This is a variant of the Gin and Tonic, known as the Gin and Zonic (rating 3.68/5). It features dry gin, tonic water, and a zesty lime, served in a brandy glass. The name might be a playful twist, but the flavors stay true to the crisp and refreshing profile of a G&T.
- Gin And Tonic Bitter Lime – For a more adventurous take, the Gin And Tonic Bitter Lime (rating 3.66/5) adds a dash of Angostura Bitters and extra lime juice to the classic G&T. It's a fascinating option for those who like their drinks with a pronounced bitter edge.
- Long Vodka – Last but not least, the Long Vodka (rating 3.64/5) is a simple yet invigorating cocktail made with vodka, lime juice, soda water, and a dash of Angostura Bitters. It's served in a highball glass, offering a zesty and aromatic flavor profile that's perfect for light, crisp sipping.
These options should give you a great starting point depending on your preference for either tonic or soda water and the additional flavors you'd like to enjoy with them. Cheers!

FAQ's
We've collated some quick fire Q&A's on the question to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
What are common cocktails made with tonic water?
Common cocktails made with tonic water include the classic Gin and Tonic, Vodka and Tonic, and variations like Gin and Zonic or Gin and Tonic Bitter Lime. These drinks are known for their refreshing and slightly bitter taste.
Is tonic water the same as soda water?
No, tonic water and soda water are different. Tonic water contains quinine, which gives it a distinctive bitter taste, and often has added sugars and flavorings. Soda water, also known as club soda, is simply carbonated water with added minerals for taste.
Can I substitute soda water for tonic water in a cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute soda water for tonic water, but the flavor profile will change significantly. Soda water is neutral, so the cocktail will taste lighter and less bitter compared to using tonic water.
What are some refreshing cocktails with soda water?
Refreshing cocktails with soda water include the Vodka Collins, Vodka Rickey, and Long Vodka. These drinks typically combine vodka or another spirit with soda water, citrus juice, and sometimes a splash of syrup.
Are drinks with soda water or tonic water low in calories?
Drinks with soda water are generally low in calories as soda water contains no sugar or calories. Tonic water, however, often contains added sugars, which increases its calorie content. Opt for diet tonic water if you're looking to reduce calorie intake.
