What a more real tonic than Schweppes?  I admit it could be less sweet.

 

Floral gins are nice but they don't taste like real gin. A martini should taste like gin not some flowery extract.

 

I kinda like Fever Tree. Or Q.

 

Both of their regular tonic waters have about the same calories as Schweppes regular, no sodium and no HFCS. Their lights are also just simply a lot less sugar, w/o the saccharine. If sugar is an issue, I guess there's no getting around using diet.

 

Martinis we like with Beefeater and a fair amount of vermouth. I've probably got 5 or 6 (more?) gins in the pantry, but pretty much end up using Beef or Plymouth for practically all cocktails made with gin.
