Hello

I recently bought a San Pellegrino variety pack at Costco which had Ginger Beer, Orange flavored Tonic Water, and Oakwood flavored tonic water.  I have obviously figured out a use for the Ginger Beer (Moscow Mules).  I used the Orange Tonic water in a personal variation of an Aperol Spritz (2 Oz Aperol, 2 Oz Cranberry, 4 Oz Orange Tonic Water).  


I am scratching my head at what I would use Oak Flavored Tonic water with.  If someone can give me a few ideas to go off of, I would really appreciate it.  The S. Pellegrino website isn't much help at all.  The link is below.  Thanks in advance for any help.

it sounds like bbq'ed water that leaves a wood flavor 

 

or like the scotch of water

 

maybe it would go well with wood smoked bbq meats? or a scotch based cocktail? 

 

the experience might be new and interesting to the diner

Ad copy says it pairs with rosemary and lemon.    Makes me think gin.    Maybe with a lemon peel garnish.

 

But there are a number of folks on the site with better cocktail knowledge than me.

Thanks for all the replies.

I tried it with just a Lemon wedge (virgin cocktail) and it was ok.  I will probably do that again, or maybe use Grey Goose Citron vodka next.
