Energy: ~1–5 kcal / 100 ml (typical) (planning figure - the product label is the final reference)
How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~1–5 kcal / 100 ml (typical)
- Energy density
- 1–5 kcal / 100 ml
- Basis
- Per 100 ml — a volume. Applying it to a weight would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 ml
- 1–5 kcal / 100 ml × 30 ml ÷ 100 = ≈ 0–2 kcal
This range spans ±67% of its own centre. It is the supplier variation in this product, not a defect in the arithmetic — a figure from your own product label would narrow it.
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Sealed: long, per label. Opened: flat within about a day.
Storage: Chilled for service; FIFO on the stock.
- A lighter espresso tonic
- Low-added-sugar alcohol-free builds
- Same rule as all bubbles: in last, one gentle lift
Sweetened with high-intensity sweeteners instead of sugar — concentrated sweetness that behaves completely differently from sugar, and the quinine bitterness is still there. Some guests avoid specific sweeteners; the label is the reference.
