Fever-Tree Tonic

Fever-Tree built an entire brand on one simple claim: if three-quarters of a gin & tonic is tonic water, that tonic water should be good. It sounds obvious today, but in 2004 it was a revolutionary idea that changed the whole mixer industry.

   

About Fever-Tree Tonic

Before Fever-Tree, tonic water was essentially one product built on artificial quinine and heavy sweeteners - today there's a whole market of premium tonics, largely thanks to this British brand. Fever-Tree uses natural quinine sourced from Congo, giving a cleaner, less bitter aftertaste than classic industrial tonics, and has expanded the range to cover everything from Mediterranean Tonic to Ginger Beer, making it the natural first choice for anyone who takes their gin & tonic seriously.

History & Background

Fever-Tree was founded in 2004 by Charles Rolls and Tim Warrillow, both with backgrounds in the drinks industry and frustrated by the quality of existing tonic water. They travelled the world to source the best natural ingredients, including quinine from Congo's rainforests, and launched the first Fever-Tree tonic that same year. The company has since grown into a publicly listed global brand that sparked an entire wave of competing premium tonics.

Production & Style

Fever-Tree favours natural ingredients over artificial flavourings and typically sweetens with a combination of natural sugars rather than the artificial sweeteners many cheaper tonics rely on. The quinine comes from Congo, and the range's various styles - Indian Tonic, Mediterranean Tonic, Elderflower Tonic and more - are designed to highlight different types of gin rather than overpower them.

Signature Style

Clean, Natural, Lightly Bitter
A balanced bitterness from natural quinine, paired with a clean, less sweet profile than traditional tonics.

Did You Know?

Did you know Fever-Tree is named after one of the local terms for the quinine tree, used for centuries to treat malaria - long before anyone thought to pour it into a gin & tonic?
