Best Answer

As good as it gets. The first carbonated drink was Schweppes Tonic which was developed so that people could drink quinine as medicine in spite of its bitter taste. You can formulate bitter soft drinks without quinine but you may not be able to call them tonics depending on local legislation. Without quinine you also loss the slight blue phosphorescence of tonic water.
