Fever-Tree White Grape & Apricot Soda

Fever-Tree White Grape & Apricot Soda is a sparkling soft drink, with no alcohol, which Fever-Tree’s UK site makes with white grape and apricot juices from concentrate and French verbena, with 4.5g of sugar per 100ml. The grapes are prosecco varieties from Treviso, which gives it a wine-like sharpness. Our garden spritz tops 50ml of elderflower gin with 150ml of it.

Tasting Notes

Fresh white grape acidity leads, followed by soft apricot sweetness and subtle herbal notes. Clean, lightly perfumed finish with gentle carbonation and no cloying aftertaste.

Prosecco grapes without the wine

Fever-Tree take the white grapes from Treviso in the Veneto, from varieties usually reserved for prosecco: small, green-skinned and tart, picked by hand from vines trained unusually high off the ground in a style dating from the 19th century. The apricots are from northern Italy, cold-pressed to keep their aroma. Both go in as juice from concentrate, listed high among the ingredients.

Verbena sits on top

French verbena flavouring, from the west coast of France, is the third element. Verbena smells lemony and herbal, and it gives the nose something before the first sip, the job a garnish usually does. Fever-Tree describe a herbaceous finish that suits vermouth and Italian bitters.

A soft drink made like an aperitif

Most soft drinks offered to someone not drinking are sweet. This one has 4.5g of sugar per 100ml, from sugar rather than fructose, and its sharpness comes from the grapes and citric acid. Apple, hibiscus, carrot and safflower concentrates give the colour. It is sold in 200ml bottles, so one bottle makes one drink.

Gin and elderflower in a wine glass

Our White Grape and Apricot Garden Spritz keeps Fever-Tree’s build: elderflower gin over plenty of ice, the soda at three times the gin, then lemon peel twisted over the glass and dropped in, with a clapped mint sprig last. The verbena and the elderflower meet, and the lemon oil sharpens them both.

Using it

Using Fever-Tree White Grape & Apricot Soda

Usage

Our White Grape and Apricot Garden Spritz follows Fever-Tree: the soda poured onto elderflower gin at three to one, in a big iced wine glass, with a twist of lemon and a sprig of mint. Vermouths and Italian bitters are Fever-Tree’s other pairings. With no spirit at all, pour it into a wine glass as it is.

Pro Tip

Work the lemon oil over the glass first and add the mint at the very end. The oil lifts the verbena, and mint placed last stays on the nose.

Top Tips

Pour it into a wine glass; the bowl gathers the verbena scent.
Offer it to someone not drinking: it is made like an aperitif, not a sweet soda.
Pair it with elderflower gin, vermouth or an Italian bitter.
Use one 200ml bottle per drink.

Possible Substitutions

Soda Water: Mixed with white grape juice and fresh lemon: close, without the apricot

Production Method

Carbonated spring water, sugar, white grape juice and apricot juice from concentrate, citric acid, natural verbena flavouring, other natural flavourings, and apple, hibiscus, carrot and safflower concentrates for colour.

Common Questions

What is white grape and apricot soda for?

Fever-Tree make it to drink over ice by itself and to mix with gin, vermouth and Italian bitters in a light spritz. With no alcohol and a modest 4.5g of sugar per 100ml, it also suits anyone not drinking who wants something in a wine glass.

Does it taste like wine?

It has no alcohol, but the grapes are prosecco varieties, high in acidity and tart, so it has more of a wine’s sharpness than most grape sodas. Apricot rounds it and verbena adds a herbal top note. Think of a light, off-dry white rather than a sweet fruit soda.

Is there real fruit in it?

Yes. White grape juice from concentrate and apricot juice from concentrate come straight after water and sugar on the UK ingredients list. The verbena is a natural flavouring, and apple, hibiscus, carrot and safflower concentrates provide the colour.

How should white grape and apricot soda be served?

Ice-cold, in a wine glass packed with ice, giving the verbena room. Fever-Tree’s own serve adds elderflower gin, mint and lemon peel, and our spritz does the same, one measure of gin to three of soda. On its own, a twist of lemon is enough.

Is it alcohol free?

Yes, despite the prosecco grapes: it is grape juice, not wine. That makes it a useful choice for someone not drinking, though it does carry sugar, 4.5g per 100ml, from ordinary sugar on top of the fruit’s own.

How sweet is it?

Lightly: 4.5g of sugar and 18 kcal per 100ml, so a 200ml bottle carries about nine grams of sugar. That is well short of a standard cola, and the grape acidity keeps it tasting drier than the figure suggests.

What can I use instead?

White grape juice lengthened with sparkling water and a squeeze of lemon gets close, though it lacks the apricot and the verbena and may be sweeter, so taste it first. Pour it into an iced wine glass, as you would the soda.
