Fever-Tree has reportedly launched a bottled gin and tonics (G&T) range, marking its entry into the UK’s ready-to-drink (RTD) market.

The line features Indian Gin and Tonic, Refreshingly Light Gin and Tonic and Elderflower Gin and Tonic variants.

A London dry gin has been used as a base for the Indian and Refreshingly Light expressions. It is claimed to be crisp, with subtle citrus flavours and savoury spices. A floral gin was used as a base for the Elderflower variety.

"The range has been inspired by our favourite flavour combinations."

Fever-Tree senior innovation manager Rose Cottingham was quoted by foodbev.com as saying: “The continued popularity of the G&T is drawing in consumers in ever greater numbers and our new ready-to-drink range provides consumers with a convenient way of enjoying a perfectly paired G&T without having to compromise on quality.

“The range has been inspired by our favourite flavour combinations and reflects the same commitment to the highest quality ingredients, botanicals and taste that is at the heart of all of our products.”

To create the new G&Ts, Fever-Tree’s team collaborated with Charles Maxwell of Thames Distillers.

The beverages are sold for a recommended retail price (RRP) of £2.75 for a 275ml glass bottle.

The new range can be purchased at Tesco stores across the UK.

In June last year, Fever-Tree assumed direct control of its US operations through subsidiary Fever-Tree USA.
