Pro Tip
If a drink tastes thin, increase ice quality before increasing spirit.
Usage
Used as a premium mixer where the structure and bitterness of classic tonic water are desired with a lighter, drier finish. Ideal for spirit-forward long drinks where sweetness should be minimised.
Top Tips
- Excellent for highball-style serves where refreshment is key.
- Use well-chilled tonic and plenty of ice to maintain fizz.
- Avoid additional sweet garnishes — let the tonic’s dryness lead.
Possible Substitutions
- Classic Indian tonic water (sweeter, higher calorie)
- Soda water (much drier, no bitterness)
Production Method
Produced by carbonating spring water and blending with natural quinine, citrus extracts, and fruit sugars before bottling under pressure.
History & Context
Developed to meet demand for lower-calorie premium mixers, Fever-Tree Refreshingly Light Indian Tonic retains the defining bitterness of tonic water while reducing sugar and overall sweetness.
