Tonic water is a carbonated soft drink containing quinine, which gives it a bitter taste. The tonic water described here is a sugar-containing drink rather than a sugar-free version. It mainly provides water and carbohydrate from sugars. Per 100g, it contains 94g of water, 5.9g of sugars, 94 kJ of energy and 0.01g of salt.
Sugars provide energy, and sugar-containing drinks can contribute to overall sugar and energy intake. Frequent consumption of sugary drinks can also contribute to tooth decay. Tonic water is not a significant source of protein, fibre, vitamins or minerals. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
