📝 Description
Schweppes Pink Tonic is a refreshing carbonated non-alcoholic drink with a tonic flavour, complemented by a fruity note thanks to natural blackcurrant flavouring and a pink colour derived from anthocyanins and natural colourings. The drink is sweetened with a combination of sugar and sweeteners and contains quinine, which gives it the typical slightly bitter taste of tonic water.
