Tonics are typically made with quinine but Wildleaf opted for an alternative botanical blend to create tonics with a gentler, more approachable taste and less sugar. These clean-tasting, herbaceous craft tonics make the most of an ingredient that's prized in North Africa, wormwood, also known as wildleaf. The brand's award-winning premium North African craft tonics combine wormwood with quassia amara to uniquely enhance the drinking experience.
With less sugar needed to balance out the bitter flavors usually found in tonic, Wildleaf works well with a variety of drinks and helps consumers keep their sugar intake low. What's more, these tonics are imbued with the beneficial properties of wormwood and come in at a maximum of 42 calories. Wildleaf's four mixers include two refreshing tonics, a ginger ale and a club soda.
