Tom Richter, the founder and chief formulist of Tomr's Tonic, created the brand. Tom's background as a Broadway actor led him to bartending gigs, where he discovered a passion for creating exceptional drinks. Frustrated by the overpowering flavors of traditional tonic water, he began experimenting with recipes until he developed his formula in 2007. The positive reception from customers at the bar he worked at led to bartenders and bar managers seeking out Tom's unique tonic, and thus, Tomr's Tonic was born.
