Fever-Tree has unveiled a new limited-edition passionfruit and lime-flavoured tonic water for the summer. The new offering combines spring water with botanical extracts, including Ecuadorian yellow passionfruit, Tahitian lime and quinine. The limited-edition product is free from artificial flavours and sweeteners, and contains just 18 calories per 100ml. The tonic water can be enjoyed with gin, vodka or just ice. Fever-Tree’s senior innovation manager, Georgina Denny, said: “The G&T drinker is becoming more experimental and creative when mixing at home and we wanted to create a liquid to satisfy that thirst for something new this summer". “We believe like many others in the quality and enjoyment you can get from having fruit in season and we wanted to mimic this with our Limited Edition series, first with Damson & Sloe for autumn winter, and now Passionfruit & Lime for the summer. “What's more, the new tonic is ‘refreshingly light,’ so drinkers can enjoy delicious combinations with all of the flavour and fewer calories.” With an RRP of £1.95, the new Fever-Tree offering is available until autumn at Tesco, Asda, Ocado and Sainsbury’s.
