Tonic ≠ Club Soda

N00bs. We are. At least when it comes to cocktails. Up until last Friday we thought we had been enjoying amazing Gin & Tonics. Not the case.

We have a SodaStream, so we make our own sparkling water. Turns out sparkling water and tonic are not the same thing. Not even close. Boy do we feel dumb and unedumacated.

We bought some tonic on Friday because our CO2 tank is pretty much empty and it requires soooo much effort to go to Walmart and get a refill. The husband made us some drinks with the store-bought tonic, and the concoction tasted oddly sweet. Well, tonic is sweet! It's supposed to be! Our new favorite drinks, Gin & Tonics, have, in fact, been Gin & Sodas.

Like I said, unedumacated.

Well, luckily we had the ingredients for Tuaca Sunrises (yeah, Gin & Tonic was too sweet, grenadine wasn't...), so the evening turned out ok. We used Tuaca (Vanilla Citrus), orange juice and a splash of grenadine. And ice, of course. Yummy!
