Fever-Tree Aromatic Tonic Water
Made using South American angostura bark, perfectly balanced with sweet, spicy notes of cardamom, ginger, vanilla and pimento berry.
Pro Tip
If a drink tastes overly sweet, add more ice — not more spirit.
Usage
Used as a premium mixer for dark spirits and spiced profiles, particularly gin, rum, and whisky. Ideal where added warmth, colour, and aromatic complexity are desired rather than sharp quinine bitterness.
Top Tips
- Best paired with spiced, aged, or barrel-influenced spirits.
- Use plenty of ice to keep sweetness in check.
- Avoid aggressive stirring to preserve its delicate spice-driven carbonation.
Possible Substitutions
- Classic Indian tonic water (drier, less spice)
- Spiced ginger ale (more heat, less bitterness)
Production Method
Produced by carbonating spring water and blending with natural quinine, angostura bark extract, botanical infusions, and natural flavourings before bottling under pressure.
History & Context
Originally developed to mirror the aromatic profile of classic Angostura bitters, Fever-Tree Aromatic Tonic Water broadened the definition of tonic beyond citrus and quinine, opening the door to darker spirits and spiced serves.
