Taste
The sharpness of the Sicilian lemons and the gentle bitterness of the quinine brilliantly counterbalance the sweetness of sweet and fruity gins and really help bring out the fruit flavours that can otherwise be overpowered and lost.
By blending the finest Sicilian lemons with spring water and quinine of the highest quality from the fever trees of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we have created a delicious lemon tonic water with an authentic refreshing taste and aroma.
Tasting notes:
The sharpness of the Sicilian lemons and the gentle bitterness of the quinine brilliantly counterbalance the sweetness of sweet and fruity gins and really help bring out the fruit flavours that can otherwise be overpowered and lost.
We use beautifully rugged and irregular lemons from mature groves on the ancient island of Sicily. The Mediterranean climate produces richly fragrant lemons that produce a lusciously sweet juice, alongside the recongisably sharp, tart taste.
Cinchona ledgeriana
Democratic Republic of Congo
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.
Femminello siracusa
Sicily
Some of the world’s finest lemons grow in fertile groves in Sicily, extracts of which are used in our Sicilian Lemonade and Lemon Tonic Water. To extract the high quality oils from the skin of the lemons, Sfumatrice equipment is used to gently press the lemons - normally a process reserved for the perfume industry. By extracting these oils, we are able to create the fresh and zesty flavour for our lemon mixers.
