It's gotten a lot of press in the past couple of years because it's
natural ingredients. I gave it a try with a couple of four-packs but
don't drink so much tonic that I really cared one way or another.

I recently saw a tonic water taste-test in the NY Times in which
Schweppes won hand's down:

In another test at drinkspirits.com, both Canada Dry and Schweppes beat it:

But I realize the lemon-flavored and the Mediterranean are likely
significant different tonics. I think my wife didn't like it's sugar
content--this from reading, not from tasting.
