Who says a good old fashioned G&T is the only way to enjoy your favourite tonic.<\/p>\n
It goes equally as perfect with vodka, tequila and port. Who knew?!<\/p>\n
The humble gin and tonic began life as a medicinal cure, but over many years has become a recreational drink of choice. Nowadays, with the gin industry booming across the globe, it\u2019s growing popularity shows no sign of abating. But there\u2019s more to tonic than gin alone. We assume that because of its complex, bitter flavours we seldom consider tonic as a mixer for other spirits \u2013 in actuality it is a more versatile mixer than you think.<\/p>\n
The Vodka & Tonic<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Vodka is the product of the distilled liquid of cereal grains or potatoes that have fermented, and it hasn\u2019t always been the clear, clean tasting spirit we know today. Nowadays, brands differentiate themselves by the unique \u2018character\u2019 of their vodkas \u2013 those infused with subtle and natural flavours pair beautifully with premium tonics. In recent years the vodka and tonic has become a frequently requested cocktail.<\/p>\n Make your own:<\/p>\n Fill a glass with ice, add 1 \u2013 2 tots of your preferred vodka, top up with Fever-Tree Indian tonic, garnish with citrus and enjoy.<\/p>\n The Tequila & Tonic<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, the tequila and tonic is a real thing. How you pair the two depends on the flavour profile of your chosen tequila. Either way, the tequila and tonic is a light and refreshing long drink that is not as sugary as your usual tequila cocktail. The spirit is made from the blue agave plant and is considered a type of mezcal. In many parts of the world it\u2019s served to sip \u2013 neat \u2013 but the addition of tonic adds that extra special something.<\/p>\n Make your own:<\/p>\n Rim a glass with salt and fill with ice, add 1 \u2013 2 tots tequila and top with Fever-Tree Indian tonic water. Then add a good squeeze of lime juice before adding the wedge as garnish.<\/p>\n
