How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~30–35 kcal / 100 ml (typical)
- Energy density
- 30–35 kcal / 100 ml
- Basis
- Per 100 ml — a volume. Applying it to a weight would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 ml
- 30–35 kcal / 100 ml × 30 ml ÷ 100 = ≈ 9–11 kcal
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 even refrigerated — small bottles win.
Storage: Chilled for service; FIFO on the stock.
- Espresso tonic — tonic over ice first, the shot floated on top
- Alcohol-free citrus tonics
- Build it like sparkling: tonic goes in last, one gentle lift
Not a zero mixer: it carries real sugar plus quinine (the bitter note). Count it toward added sugar like any soft drink — WHO guidance keeps added sugar under 10% of daily energy, ideally under 5%. Quinine itself is something a few guests avoid; the label lists it.
