Elderflower Tonic Water
Fever-Tree · quinine tonic water (elderflower)
London, England, United Kingdom
A quinine tonic built around handpicked English elderflower, this is the floral, mixer-minded end of the botanical-tonic family rather than anything in the root-and-bark tradition. The aroma leads with bright, almost honeyed elderflower edging toward pear and melon, while a clean citric tartness and crisp, fine bead keep the body featherweight. Quinine's bitterness sits softly underneath, mellowed by real cane sugar that reads sweet but never syrupy. It is engineered as a gin and vodka companion, but on its own it shows the genre's signature tension: bright florals against a measured medicinal bitter.

The maker
Elderflower Tonic Water is made by Fever-Tree (Fevertree Drinks plc), the premium mixer company founded in 2004 by Charles Rolls and Tim Warrillow and headquartered in London, England. The company built its name on all-natural tonic waters that use quinine sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and botanicals rather than artificial sweeteners. This variant pairs that quinine base with fresh elderflower for a delicate floral character.
