Fever-Tree Premium Mixers Mediterranean Light Tonic 500ml

I received a free sample of this from a promotion company in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I do love a good tonic water, so I thought I would give it a try. It's good. Not the best I've ever tried. But far from the worst. It's a little pricey for what you get, so I wouldn't say it's on the top of my shopping list... but I definitely would buy it if it was the same price or lower than the big boy names. On a recent trip overseas, I purchased a Gin Tonic with lavender infused tonic water and freeze dried raspberries. I've since adapted it by using Vodka (pick your favorite LOW-TASTE HIGH-QUALITY but not super-premium) and I infuse the vodka with culinary-grade lavender that I bought off a famous website merchant that rhymes with schmemazon.

(If you infuse the tonic water, it'd go flat - so infuse the vodka! I have used a glass bottle and a sifter/strainer but you could also use a tea infuser if you wish. I also bought some freeze dried raspberries there as I couldn't find them at any store locally. I pour one shot of lavender infused vodka, two shots of Fever Tree tonic, throw in a couple freeze dried raspberries, and make sure that glass is filled with ice or it'll start to melt quick. MMMMM, delicious!

Fever Tree is hands-down the best tonic water on the market - it’s more expensive for a good reason! Like the packaging says, “if 3/4 of your drink is the mixer, mix it with the best.” If you want a high-quality Gin and Tonic, use a high-quality mixer! It truly enhances the taste of any gin.

After tasting this, you'll never go back to Schwep

So the first time we tasted this was at a restaurant on Kensington Lane in London. My Girlfriend and I are Gin and Tonic lovers, so we've tasted quite a few different iterations of the classic mix. Our goto for drinkablilty is Tangueray and Schwepps, just a bit of sweet and a bit of dry and very enjoyable on a hot So Cal summer day.So while in London we made Byrons our base of operations, both for it's good food and extended hours. There is nothing better than a good burger at 10pm after spending the day touring castles and slogging around on the double-deckers. We ordered T&Ts and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Tonic they used. Net/net they used Fever Tree Indian Tonic Water. That was spring 2018, and we've been using only this brand since.

Delicious

These are delicious. I drink them as is and love the flavor. Super bubbly, crisp and refreshing as heck. I occasionally use this with a shot of coconut Nespresso espresso shot for a sparkling Americano and the flavor combo is magical. Highly recommend these. I wish they were lower in cost, but they are worth it for the occasional bubbly treat.

Delicious, tastes like elderflower

Love the taste of these. Very light and refreshing and tastes like elderflower flavor. Would be a wonderful mixer, or if you want a non alcoholic drink you can drink it plain like I did! I love st Germain, especially in the summer, but am not drinking alcohol and found this great substitute. Only downside is the price, but worth it for me.

Lovely Tonics but Leaking Lids

Love Fevertree tonics - especially Light Mediterranean & Light Elderflower. BUT - fed up of the 500ml bottles arriving with lids not completely tightened and leaking. Usually lose about 1 - 2 inches from at least one bottle & often more. Feel cheated about loss + sticky wet bag + frequent sodden / disintegrating packaging on other stuff. This time it was only 2 bars of soap with a secondary plastic seal to keep them dry & undamaged, but this time Im going to claim a refund because of losses. Buying more packs of 150 ml cans (very similar price per litre) but resent that because of extra waste recycling needed.

None Better

Been using this tonic water for years though I've tried many others. This one is the best for my taste and I always come back to this one after trying something different. I hope Total Wine continues carrying the 16.9 oz. bottles as price- and efficiency-wise, these are the best value and easiest to use of the different Fever Tree Tonic sizes for me.

Pleasantly sharp

For those of you traumatised by the demise of Waitrose's own tonic water that was perfectly palatable and SIX TIMES cheaper, this is an acceptable alternative, that in all fairness, does taste nicer than the Waitrose own brand.We have also tried the Fentiman's & London Essence's tonics. The latter is bitter, fueled by its strong flavour of juniper. My wife and I ranked Fentiman's as the best, (slightly cheaper too), then London Essence then Fever Tree. We both like a 'bitter' tonic.

Refreshingly Better

For vodka tonics I have gone cheap for years, using Schweppes or Canada Dry, but decided to try the more expensive Fever Tree Light. Unfortunately, I'm now hooked on this excellent tonic water. The difference in taste is immediately apparent, for the better. So refreshing and crisp.

The Best Indian Tonic Water

Twelve years and a perhaps a baker's dozen of different tonic waters later, I can attest here in 2022 that Fever Tree Indian Tonic remains the absolute best tonic water for the classic G&T. It has just the right amount of lemongrass, a slight sweetness which isn't overpowering, and a healthier dose of quinine than any other on the market.
