Flavours

Our 3 different tonic flavours can match every possible challenge. Erasmus Bond Classic Tonic is a timeless blend of bitter and sweet, Erasmus Bond Dry Tonic is the perfect combination for sweeter Gins and Erasmus Bond Botanical Tonic is different and contemporary. Erasmus Bond Dry Ginger is the preferred companion when making ginger based mixed drinks, whether it’s with whisky, rum, bourbon, cognac, calvados, tequila, mezcal or gin. You name it, you mix it! Specially designed for mixing, this combination of spicy character, amazing freshness and unique dry flavour will enhance your favourite spirit in any ginger cocktail.

For the first expression in our new range of tonics we have chosen to make a tonic as it was originally intended. Erasmus Bond Classic Tonic is the perfect companion for the traditional London Dry gins and the more delicate gins available.

However unusual it might seem to nose the mixer rather than the spirit, this one is definitely worth the effort of doing so. It starts off with a classic blend of citrus fruits, some elderflower and a touch of quinine. The velvet mouthfeel is dominated by a burst of liquorice, cassia bark and lemon peel immediately followed by quinine.

The aftertaste lingers on with a beautiful balance between subtle bitterness and freshly zested lemon peel.

Nose: Slight hint of citrus, vitamin C powder, quinine in the background.

Mouth: Liquorice, quinine, lemon peel and cassia bark.

Aftertaste: Lingering but subtle bitterness with again a hint of lemon peel.

Erasmus Bond Dry Tonic was developed with a very specific function in mind, which is to be the perfect counterpart for the big and soulful gins we find on the market today.

The nose starts off with a surprising blend of grapefruit, blood orange and bergamot and is a lot less “Dry” than one might expect. This is quickly forgotten though after the first sip which is neat and clean yet surprises the palate with a unique combination of grapefruit and gentian root. As it dies away the dryness becomes omni­present with quinine and bergamot taking the leading roles.

Nose: Grapefruit, bergamot and sanguinello.

Mouth: Neat and clean, with a velvet mouthfeel, gentian root and again a lot of ruby red grapefruits.

Aftertaste: Long but very clean with loads of quinine and bergamot.

As gins and other spirits are becoming more and more complex, the need arises for more complex mixers. This is where Erasmus Bond Botanical Tonic comes into play. We have developed this complex concoction as a companion for the more unusual, floral and complex spirits out there.

The introduction is made by a burst of Jamaican black pepper on the nose, swiftly followed by a touch of mint and a whiff of freshly cut herbs. The soft and round mouthfeel is accompanied by hints of candied ginger, basil, thyme, rosemary and juniper berries. As it comes to a finish the quinine is more obvious and is joined by gentian root, white grapefruit and a touch of pomelo.

Nose: A burst of Jamaican black pepper and a touch of mint, then very herbal, reminiscent of freshly cut basil.

Mouth: soft and round with hint of candied ginger, basil again, thyme, rosemary even, gentian root and juniper berries.

Aftertaste: the quinine is louder now with loads of white grapefruit and pomelo.

As with our tonics, Erasmus Bond Dry Ginger was developed with the perfect mixer in mind. This time it was all about finding the balance between sweetness, freshness and of course spice. Erasmus Bond Dry Ginger is the preferred companion when making ginger based mixed drinks, whether it’s with rum, bourbon, cognac, tequila or even whisky.

The nose offers the traditional freshness thanks to the use of ginger and citrus fruits. On the palate the freshness is joined by a lovely silky mouthfeel. Towards the end the spicy character starts to emerge and offers a long and slightly peppery finish.

With less sugar than most of the other ginger mixers, it allows the spirit to shine and leaves room for any personal preferences the consumer may have. We hope you like it as much as we do.

Nose: Spicy ginger, demerara sugar, slight hint of lime zest in the background.

Mouth: Warming spices reminding of black cubebe pepper and cinnamon, freshly cut ginger and some citric acidity balanced with the right amount of sweetness lingering in the background.

Aftertaste: Candied ginger, fresh lemon and a pleasing slight tangy finish.
