MEDITERRANEAN Tonic
By blending the essential oils from herbs gathered from around the Mediterranean shores with highest-quality quinine from the 'fever trees' of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we have created a delicate, floral tonic water.
We use less quinine in our Mediterranean Tonic which, with the addition of rosemary and lemon thyme, produces a much lighter, more fragrant tonic.
Delicate bubbles, sun-drenched botanicals
The rocky hillside farms of the Provence region of southern France benefit from the warm air flowing inland from the Mediterranean Sea, creating perfect growing conditions for hardy aromatic shrubs like lemon thyme. The well-drained soil and long, sun-filled days allow these plants to thrive and the flavours to deepen.
QUININE
Quinine is the key ingredient that creates the gentle bitterness in tonic water. Our name was chosen as it is the colloquial name for the cinchona tree, the bark of which produces quinine. After discovering early 17th century references in the British library, Charles and Tim located one of the only remaining plantations of original Cinchona Ledgeriana trees (known locally as ‘fever trees’) which produce some of the highest quality quinine in the world, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. For Charles and Tim, there was no other option but to source Fever-Tree’s quinine from this area.
LEMON THYME
Our Mediterranean Tonic includes a handful of essential oils from herbs gathered from around the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Lemon Thyme from Provence is one of the ingredients that provides the tonic with its uniquely floral aroma, boosting the subtle aromas of great vodkas and citrus and herbaceous gins.
We wouldn’t ever want to get into an argument regarding Vodka and Tonic vs Gin and Tonic, but if we had to defend the former, this iteration of an icon would be the ace up our sleeve. Our recipe is every bit as straightforward as the ingredients that go into our Vodka and Tonic. If you follow these simple steps, you’re bound to be left with a cocktail to remember:
-
Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water
-
Vodka
-
Ice
-
Lemon Thyme or Lemon
