Polar Seltzer Diet Tonic W/ Lime

Polar Seltzer Diet Tonic with Lime is a heritage-style, zero-sugar mixer that reads like a modern update to a classic cocktail staple. In a typical American grocery store you’ll find it in the beverage aisle—shelved with tonic waters, sparkling waters, and cocktail mixers—often just a few feet from sodas and single-serve mixers for at-home bartending. It’s a go-to for shoppers stocking up for casual gatherings or looking for a low-calorie soda alternative: think backyard BBQs, picnic coolers, or a small collection of cocktail essentials for weekend entertaining. The Polar name carries a regional, family-owned story (“family made since 1882”) that brands the product as nostalgic and trustworthy while the label leans on modern health halos: “zero-sugar,” “natural lime flavor,” and low-calorie claims are prominent; there’s no kid-focused artwork, and no organic or certification badges. On the ingredient side the bottle lists carbonated water, citric acid, natural flavors, aspartame, potassium citrate, and quinine — a short list that belies the industrial processing behind artificial sweeteners and flavor concentrates. Sensory-wise it’s bright and effervescent, with sharp carbonation, a dry quinine bitterness, and a crisp lime aroma; it’s sold in a clear screw-cap bottle (33.8 fl oz) meant for pouring over ice or mixing into cocktails like gin & tonic. Rituals include topping a highball glass, garnishing with lime, or keeping a bottle chilled for spontaneous entertaining. In plain terms it’s a manufactured mixer that delivers a familiar, low-calorie taste profile for adults who want the look and feel of a classic tonic without the sugar.
