Fever Tree Mixers Mediterranean Tonic Water

My favourite is the Mediterranean tonic. I love it in my gin.

It all started with the ginger ale in the US. I was on holiday, got a sickness bug and the hotel was providing me with ginger ale and ginger beer on tap to settle my stomach. It worked. The brand was Fever Tree. I later found out the British soft drinks brand entered the US market in 2007 and is the largest supplier of ginger beer and tonic water in America. A massive British export success story.

This was over 10 years ago and no joke now we choose our restaurants by whether or not they serve Fever Tree mixers.

I have tried most of the different tonics and I cannot describe how the Mediterranean tastes really, it’s distinctive, unforgettable and for me now makes other options so inferior I’d rather just have water instead.

Fever tree say when at least 3/4 of the drink is the mixer it needs to be good and they really have raised the bar when it comes to interesting tastes for a more discerning and sophisticated palette.

I keep a bottle of ginger ale in the house for medicinal reasons and these days it’s always fever tree:

500ml of ginger ale or Mediterranean tonic in the supermarket costs £2.25. A 200ml bottle single serving in the pub costs £2.50. You can get a case of 16 x 200ml Mediterranean tonic for £31.90 on Amazon whilst stocks last.
