pHenomenal Drinks: Tonic and Ginger Beer as organic syrup from Hamburg

pHenomenal Drinks was founded in Hamburg at the end of 2012. After a night at his favorite bar, founder Hendrik Schaulin found a recipe for homemade tonic water, ordered cinchona bark, and experimented with his friend Peter Hundert until the first tonic syrup was created in the kitchen. The idea behind it: in a gin and tonic, the largest portion of liquid is the tonic – and that should be a match for good gin. Today, Hendrik Schaulin runs pHenomenal as owner and developer.

Organic tonic syrup and ginger syrup: mix it yourself in a 5:1 ratio

Both syrups are certified organic, vegan, and sweetened with organic agave syrup; tartaric acid is used as the acidulant. You mix 2 cl of syrup with 10 cl of sparkling mineral water; a 250 ml bottle is enough for twelve long drinks. The organic tonic syrup provides the bitterness of real cinchona bark from Ecuador and the Congo, which pHenomenal decocts themselves, plus organic juices of orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit – intentionally dry, for gin and tonics, espresso tonics, or as a bitter lemonade. The organic ginger syrup consists of 30% organic ginger juice from Peru and Uganda and can be made into ginger beer for Moscow Mules, Dark & Stormy, or paired with fruit brandies. You can measure exactly with the 2cl glass dispenser and the pHenomenal Erlenmeyer flask made of laboratory glass.

Premix cocktails: Negroni and Manhattan by the bottle

Since 2017, pHenomenal has also been making ready-to-serve cocktails. The NEGRONI our style combines Eversbusch double juniper spirit, an Italian artichoke-based amaro, and a house-blend vermouth; the orange zest is already included (26.1% ABV). The Autumn in New York is an autumnal Manhattan with rye whiskey from the Münsterland region and chestnut spirit from the Southern Palatinate (34.7% ABV). Simply pour over ice or into a chilled cocktail glass.
