Will Amtrak sell me a bottle of tonic water?

Just in case I choose to bring my own vodka?

However, it is listed on the Coast Starlight dining car menu but it appears it may be requested when purchasing the liquor itself!

No!

Tonic water and other mixers in lounge/café cars are provided for the employee to use as mixers for alcohol that is purchased in that lounge/café. There is no pricing structure that allows for separate sale, and the limited supply means this would cut into the supplies needed to provide for paying passengers. Alcoholic beverages that you bring on the train may not be consumed it in any public area. A private sleeping car room is the only place where it is permitted .

Assuming you're in a sleeping car, just bring your own, I bring either a six pack of small bottles or two half liter bottles, along with my gin and limes, ice is available in the sleeper. You can buy vodka tonic/gin tonics in the lounge, and usually in the dining car too. Now if they only had Bloody Mary mix for breakfast!

I like tonic water plain. I like Gin the same way. Gin and tonic is yech

I've seen cafe attendants sell cans of Bloody Mary mix (without alcohol) to passengers wanting tomato juice on several occasions. You can always ask.
