Don't notice the difference
I got this product #free from chickadvisor. It was super hard to find. I went to multiple stores but it was not readily available. I only saw ginger ale at Safeway which was one of the recommended stores. I finally found it at London Drugs.
It costs $5.99 for 4 bottles which is a bit pricey compared to the regular tonic water. I don't think the taste was any different so I wouldn't recommend getting for a heftier price and the availability. I would go back again to try the ginger beer which is not in the regular canada dry line.
Reviewing Club Soda - Ginger Ale Not Available
My review was supposed to be on the Ginger Ale, but I could not find it at any stores near me. Therefore, I'm reviewing the Club Soda, which was the only associated product that my store carried. My two youngest kids were the only ones who cared for the Club Soda and commented that "I would drink this about once a month". The rest of my family, not so much.
NOT ENOUGH TONIC
I was really disappointed with this product.
Although the lable stated "made with Quine", there was hardly any flavour of such.
For me the product was too fizzy. very little flavour, and too sweet.
Tonic water, or as it was originally called Quine water, should very much taste of Quine the bitterness of Quine compliments the smoothness of Vodka and the distinct flavour of Junipor in Gin
CANADA DRY PREMIUM TONIC WATER
It's been quite the challenge to find this in stores. It was either sold out or not carried. The retail price of $8.99 for a 4-pack seems very high. The design of the bottles and the 4-pack is great and does give you the impression of a premium product. Unfortunately, the balance between sour and bitter is off. When I think of tonic water, the first thing that comes to mind is quinine, bitter taste. What I got instead was a strong sour taste with a hint of bitter. On the positive side, the amount of fizz is low.
Disclaimer: I received a free product for review. This is my honest opinion.
Beautiful Bottle & A Great Mixer
The bottles for this product are absolutely beautiful and really quite appealing. Serve these bottles at a party- and I am sure you will impress your guests! They are quite pricey however, which is a downside. I was also thrown off by the fact that you need a bottle opener for them. As a mixer, this product is great- I wouldn't suggest just opening it on it's own! Overall, not really my thing, but a beautiful product that I could see being a hit at fancy parties (which honesty, I wouldn't be hosting)
Not for my circle of friends
Picked up from Sobey's with redemption voucher. Along with 3 other friends we tried it by itself first and then used it as a mixer with gin, cranberry juice or peach juice. The tonic water by itself has a bitter aftertaste. It doesn't hit right away but after a second or two. I was not expecting since so many other commented on the cane sugar being noticeable. It has a noticeable hint of lime. We proceeded to add the alcohol and other juice. It makes it acceptable when combined together. Unfortunately none of us was a fan. Considering there are other cheaper alternatives that offer non-bitter to function as a mixer. Such as various fruity seltzer. 2 of us are big fans of regular canada dry gingerale, so this was disappointing and surprising for us.
Unsure what makes it premium
This product would be great mixed for cocktails or mocktails. On its own I was excited because it had a unique delicious smell almost like ginger ale but then had a really weird after taste for me. Also I think it is a little pricey for tonic water. It gives great carbonation though! And the bottles are beautiful and presentation is amazing. If you're looking for a more premium look this is it but I am unsure if the product itself is that much different. It is crafted with cane sugar and contains quinine.

Rating is on product alone unmixed with anything .. its delicious mixed.*
Better than other tonic waters...
I would more than likely not recommend this to a friend or probably ever buy it myself to be honest. The initial taste is sweet and reminiscent of sprite but the aftertaste is absolutely disgusting and very strong. Mixing it with orange juice helped reduce the aftertaste a bit, but still there. The bottles are interesting and I think the glass is a nice touch.
Not a good taste.. Will not purchase in the future
Overall, this was not at all what I was expecting from this product. I was so excited to try it, as I love the idea of premium ingredients. But, alas, the taste did not live up to the hype. It was bitter and strong for tonic water. I missed it with a liquor, and the taste of liquor was more bearable for me.
With that being said, the product is beautifully bottled and packaged. While it was not my cup of tea, it very well could be someone else's. When taking the whole product into account, if you can stomach the taste, it may be worth the investment.
I tried the ginger ale.
Though I was excited to try the tonic (hello gin and tonic!) but it must be such a popular item because it was sold out so I tried the ginger ale to be honest, it tasted a lot like the regular ginger ale but you can definitely tell it’s sweetened with cane sugar
