What Are Non-Alcoholic Tonics
Nonalcoholic tonics are different from non-alcoholic drinks.
Nonalcoholic drinks are made with juice and sugar syrup. Non-alcoholic tonics are different because they are made with concentrated tonics without ethanol. This makes it safe for everyone.
However, it gives the smell and taste of an alcoholic beverage. You cannot even tell the difference with a dash of bitter essence. If you used to drink before, and not anymore, this tricks your body into thinking it is alcohol and releases dopamine (aka happy hormone).
