New York
Beverages
▪ It started on a warm summer night in Brooklyn. A few good friends were in my backyard for gin and tonics. A couple of drinks in I realized that my tonic water was not nearly as good as the gin or my friends. In a flash, I realized that I should make a spectacular tonic water. It took me four years to get it right. But once I did, the best bars and restaurants in New York City started serving my tonic water. Then we got a ton of press coverage and some larger retail chains joined them. And soon I was being asked for other carbonated mixers as spectacular as Q Tonic.
