The new brand Fever Tree Premium Lemon has been created by Ferràn Adrià and his team, and it follows the line traced by the other varieties of Fever Tree: it always maintains the natural character of the product without adding any type of colouring agents, preservatives or artificial flavours. On this occasion, lemons are the main ingredients and the place of origin chosen has been Sicily.

It is simple to observe this natural feature in the lemon particles in suspension and the ring of essential oil that is formed in the bottleneck when it has remained idle for a while. For this reason it is necessary to give it a spin before serving.

Once opened, you can appreciate the intense aroma of the lemon peel and it results in a refreshing drink and highly recommended for mixing with vodkas, gins or rums.

Premium Tonic Water Gets All Sciency

As reported in this article, the match is so good because of the quinine in the tonic water, and the juniper in the gin. Because the molecules are so similar, the particles are drawn to each other while in the drink, which creates the pleasing flavour effect. So make sure your gin’s list of botanicals includes juniper, and your tonic’s the real deal with quinine.

A Modern Taste with a Troubled History

Today, you can drink gin and tonic with a clear conscience. (Phew). But the reason for its popularity is tightly bound with Britain’s colonial foray into India. Tonic water protected the Empire’s troops from malaria. Of course, adding gin was for fun, but with so many thousands of Britons having served in the military, the popular taste was established for gin and tonic.

It’s Tough Tasting G&Ts But Someone’s Got to Do It

Here’s a really good way to see the difference that a premium tonic water makes. Make yourself two gin and tonics – one with Indian Fever Tree tonic water, and the other with Schweppes. The former will have a much softer flavour. Also, it will taste more citrusy, but not overpoweringly so. Altogether it’ll be somewhat more satisfying – pleasingly perfect. By comparison, Schweppes will miss the mark. It’s a bit like the difference between hearing your favourite song on low volume and hearing it full blast.

If you’re really serious about finding the best tonic for your taste, our advice is for you to try different tonic waters blindfolded. You might surprise yourself with what you actually like. As it happens, at INVINIC we prefer Indian Fever Tree.

The Variety Available Today

Nowadays there are many options each satisfying a slightly different market segment: some have quinine from Rwanda, or from Peru, and even the Congo. Tonic water can be ‘of natural origin’, and its botanicals can even be ‘handpicked’.

Taking Your Gin and Tonic ‘With a Pinch of Salt’

While brands are bound to present their offerings as unique options, it’s best for the gin aficionado to sort through the marketing waffle. Is one type of quinine really more ‘natural’ than another? Isn’t all quinine natural since it comes from a tree bark? Regarding handpicking, what does that mean exactly? Are there really terrifying, gin crazed robots ranging the Peruvian hillsides, vacuuming up quinine?

Even with premium versions, tonic water is still made with water, carbon dioxide, natural flavors, citrus, sweetener and quinine. In good part, great tonic water is worth buying because of the purity of its ingredients, but even so, the success of an excellent G&T is down to combining the ingredients in just the right proportions. That’s why it’s still so important to know the exact combination that you like.

At INVINIC we have the following premium tonics available: 6 Six O’clock Tonic Water, Boylan Tonic, Britvic Indian Tonic Water, Fentimans Tonic Water, Indian Fever Tree, Q Tonic.

During the last years we have seen a massive introduction of Premium gins. Now it is the turn of the tonic water. This is the case of Britvic, seeking to fill a niche in the market.

Britvic is originated in “The British Vitamin Products Company” a company that used to produce vitamins, hence its name. Britvic is currently the most prestigious and one of the best selling brands of tonic waters in the UK.

During our first tastings we have seen it is a strongly carbonated tonic water even if the effervescence is not very long. This easy to drink tonic water is sweet and with citrus fruits flavors. It might be the perfect tonic water for those not very keen on the bitter flavors so present in most tonic waters.
