For some weeks, I've been having trouble ordering tonic water. My local grocers and even hardware stores seem to be sold out. Then recently, I found this notice:

https://mrfa.mb.ca/possible-shortage-of-tonic-water

Is this just a Canadian issue, or are others elsewhere also having difficulty sourcing tonic water? And what might be the reason for a general shortage? I mean, you can make it at home, so what's the deal?

It's concerning because, well, this is mosquito season. Also, gin season.

Switch to Tom Collins ?

(fwiw...nothing like that going on down here....the stores have tonic waters on the shelves....

:|.......psst, I can set you up with some..... for the right price)

Lemonade won't do--it's for my gf, who is partial to bitters. Please send tonic, Jaye!

Some stuff is hard to find in Manitoba?

To find the tonic, first look for the dominant

For me, the dominant IS the tonic....

Mmm...tonic!
On the music side: My brain finds/ hears the 5 first nearly always in major keys and checks it 5-1. Don’t know why. Minor tunes I can hit the one (then I check 1-b3). I’m a strange fellow. I also enjoy a good tonic water with no booze...adding fruit juice and or a squeeze of citrus is great too!

Campari, exactly. So refreshing on a hot afternoon. Though ever since my recent time in Andalusia, I find myself craving straight vermouth on ice every day around 4 PM.

btw Pete, where did you find that video of my gf? She's gonna plotz!
