Storage & Handling

Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate before use. Once opened, use immediately to retain carbonation and fresh fruit character.

Shelf Life

Unopened: 6–12 months. Opened: Use immediately

Pro Tip

If a fruit tonic tastes heavy, increase ice and reduce garnish before reducing mixer volume.

Usage

Used as a premium mixer to add fruit-led freshness and colour while maintaining tonic structure. Particularly well suited to gin, vodka, and lighter aperitif-style serves where balance and drinkability are key.

Top Tips

  • Works best in simple, spirit-forward highballs.
  • Avoid adding syrups — fruit sweetness is already balanced.
  • Use plenty of ice to keep quinine bitterness clean and refreshing.

Possible Substitutions

  • Classic fruit tonic (sweeter, less dry)

Production Method

Produced by carbonating spring water and blending with natural rhubarb and raspberry extracts, quinine, citrus notes, and fruit sugars before bottling under pressure.

History & Context

Rhubarb and raspberry are classic British flavours traditionally used in cordials and desserts. Fever-Tree’s refreshingly light format brings these flavours into modern tonic serves with reduced sweetness and improved balance.
